First of all, I'm glad that many people have been able to enjoy the Sagebrush Sparrows. I had a lengthy conversation with the Park Ranger and they are very frustrated by the behavior of birders near Pelican Point. He stated that his coworkers have had to remind several birders to practice

Allison, I’m not advocating running around the state. I was just clarifying that the Denver “stay-at-home” order is different than the state’s. And, of course, what does “region” mean? This is probably the “squishiest” concept in the whole thing! Gary Brower Unincorporated Arapahoe County >

The sagebrush sparrow continues at Pelican Point in Bear Creek Lake Park. There is a pair of them and at 7:45-8:00 am, they were actually in the parking lot getting some grit (small bugs?) on the north side. Great views as they ran across the gravel with tail cocked. Very distinctive. One of
