. Subject bird was seen today, Thurs Jan 29, by seven of seven birders between 2:30 and 4:30pm. We were all west of the No Dumping sign and looking east with the sun behind us. Bird was on the north side of road approximately across from the No Dumping sign. We were about 150 ft back and were using a scope and binoculars. Bird was both on the road and in the scrub/ small trees across from the No Dumping sign. Excellent, prolonged views by most, but all saw and identified the Striped Sparrow. Good luck to your friends from Denver. Wallace Lowry Temple ,Texas ********************************************************************** Brush Freeman 503-551-5150 Cell 120 N. Red Bud Trail.
