[cobirds] White-throated Sparrow - SW Denver
Returned to Denver this week after spending the holidays in North Idaho and was pleasantly surprised that the adult WHITE-THROATED SPARROW which was present throughout November and early December is still around today (Fri., 21 Jan.’22) at our place in southwest Denver (Athmar Park neighborhood, Denver Co.). We headed north in mid-December, so after six (6) weeks of empty feeders wasn’t expecting it to be around, and it took a couple of days for activity to pick up, but seems like we are now back to normal - again, a very nice surprise. This is a similar experience to the one we had last Winter with a young Harris’s Sparrow, and as such suspect the White-throat will stick around through March/April (hope I didn’t just jinks things), so if you’d like to try for the sparrow for your year list, …, just let me know separately.

[cobirds] White-throated Sparrow-SW Denver
Noticed an adult WHITE-THROATED SPARROW in our yard (Athmar Park Neighborhood, SW Denver, Denver Co.) yesterday (Sun. 7 Nov.’21), but waited on posting until I saw him today (Mon, 8 Nov.’21) to see if it was going to be repeatable. Hoping he’ll stick around all Winter like the young Harris’s we had last year, but not counting on it, so enjoying for now. Granted not that rare, but fun none-the-less, so if you would like to try for the sparrow, just let me know separately.

[cobirds] White throated sparrow in Denver
I too have had a white throated sparrow for the last several days. It forages below the thistle feeder. The lesser goldfinches are still here at the feeder. Have also had a white crowned sparrow and a song sparrow. The song sparrow and the white throated sparrow are a first seen in my yard.
