Richard Stevens:
Do not have much time, I am on the way to give a bird talk. Bryan Ehlmann and I returned this afternoon from several days birding on the eastern Colorado plains. I dropped Bryan off and went to Red Rocks Park (Jefferson County). The chance to see two Golden-crowned Sparrows (an adult and first winter) was too much of a draw.
I did find a juvenile White-crowned Sparrow and two Song Sparrows. The adult Golden-crowned Sparrow did finally appear. By the time the professional wedding photographers were done, light was poor. I put several shots of the Golden-crowned Sparrow on the Colorado Birding Society's photo library. They were taken at 1/15 second shutter speed and hand held. Not the best, okay. My birding day ended with a Great Horned Owl calling in the distance!
