Hi all, A friend and I ventured out to the south side of Pueblo Reservoir State Wildlife Area today. Near the end of the dirt hunting/fishing access road, we saw what we determined to be a Sagebrush Sparrow. There seem to be no fall records of this bird in Pueblo County.
Lifer for both of us, so we observed it closely and studied our field guide at length. It was a dusty brown sparrow, gray-headed with white eye ring and white stripes on the throat, a bit smaller and more slender than a nearby White-crowned Sparrow, and fairly long-tailed. We watched it run down the road in front of the car for some distance with its tail held almost straight up, ducking in and out of roadside rabbitbrush. It also flicked its tail at times. Enchanting bird!! No photos, sorry. The southside SWA is west of Pueblo, off Hwy 96 appx. 7 miles west of its intersection with Pueblo Blvd. (aka Hwy 45).
