Allen1tx Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Observed at a feeder today in Central Texas 78645. Thinking Rufous-crowned but would like confirmation. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akandula Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Yes, this is a Rufous-crowned Sparrow. You can identify them by their white eyering, rufous cap, and the black-and-white malar stripes. Nice find! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring Storm Mystery Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 We're arguing about if those are up here in Colorado (as north as Denver) and I say no. It's the white eyering that's one of the important parts. tbh, I find sparrows a bit tricky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstacks Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 According to eBird, they've been reported even a bit north of Denver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
