CO birders : A happy group of birders from Aiken Audubon got some great views and photographs of an adult Le Conte's Sparrow at Chico Basin Ranch ( fee area ) this morning. It was located in the same wet sedge meadow below the Upper Twin Ponds dam wall that Bill Maynard had his juvenile Le Conte's and Sedge Wren earlier this fall . flushed from the sedge meadow it spent several minutes in a Russian Olive . Initially some thoughts that this could be a Nelson's but the pale not gray median stripe and lack of a clear boundary between the upper buffy breast and white lower belly clinched it as a LCSP. Not much else of note , lots of sparrows in the wet brushy area south of the banding station and a glimpse of a juvenile Harris Sparrow for some at the HQ settling pond. John Drummond Monument
