Richard Stevens:
It has been a long week or so of birding and once again, I promised my feet that they would not have to wear hiking boots today. Once again, I was not accurate. I had to chase the Brambling report at Bear Creek Lake Park (Jefferson County).
The location was not difficult to find as dozens of birders were already there when I arrived. It had been seen just 4 or 5 minutes before my arrival. I waited the "reported 20 minute interval" and the male Brambling put in an appearance. He seemed to follow 6-12 American Tree Sparrows to the seed put out by Mike Henwood.
Later I hiked Bear Creek where it enters the lake. The previously reported Harris's Sparrow was not found.
I stopped off at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal (Adams) on the trip home. The Harris's Sparrows also did not show at the Contact Station feeders.
