Brush, Good luck on this one! I took the long way home from work today and went by the Striped Sparrow spot about 3:15. What a zoo! Four cars were parked in the eastbound lane (nobody in them). Two barely had two wheels off the road and the other two were parked like they were in a driveway, completely blocking the eastbound lane! And on a curve! More cars and observers were further east. The Striped Sparrow might have had 50 yards of roadway to run the "gauntlet" between the observers. I turned around without stopping. I'd be surprised to hear that the bird was seen today (but hope it was). I won't be surprised if the Constables shut this one down. Thought about calling them myself. Incredible!

A very good friend is driving from the Denver area Thursday specifically to see the Striped Sparrow and can spend Friday and Saturday there if need be...Updates to here or the Texbirds FB. would be very much appreciated as to the bird's ongoing status. ********************************************************************** Brush Freeman 503-551-5150 Cell 120 N.
