2015-08-10 Thread Nick Komar
This morning I joined David Wade and Georgia Doyle to investigate whether the Baird's sparrows can still be detected on CR 5 in northeast Larimer County. In general, the entire 5-mile stretch of road north of Buckeye Road was still very birdy. Beginning at sunrise, we spent two hours along the

Dave's photos prove three things, in my humble opinion: 1) Sparrows can be really difficult to identify, 2) a picture can say a thousand words, And 3) two fresh-plumaged juvenile Baird's Sparrows were out there this morning. I think these photos, in concert with other observations and
