Hi, I birded parts of the CSU campus today. On the west side of the arboretum, I got a good but brief look at a 'Red' Fox Sparrow on the ground near the fence line. It was maybe a couple hundred feet north of Lake St. I am familiar with this subspecies from migration and winter in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. This is the time of year that southbound migrants show up there at this latitude. Reddish brown and gray, including red-brown streaks below. I had to leave for a meeting soon afterward but I may have time to search for it again tomorrow. It was presumably part of the junco flock that was there.
The arboretum is located in between Lake and Pitkin streets on the southwest part campus.
