Golden-crowned and Fox Sparrow in Prescott

Bryan Patrick Member Profile All Messages By This Member #7 In advance of the Christmas Bird Count, I decided to scan my local patch for Curve-billed Thrashers since they breed here and Carl T has asked me to stake them out in the past for the count. ?The neighborhood is considered “private" and some neighbors can be less than "accepting" to visitors. ?Anyway, the thrashers didn’t disappoint. ?In a flock of White-crowned Sparrows this AM, I had a Fox and first winter Golden-crowned Sparrow. ?Our resident Cooper’s Hawk swooped through that scattered everything and I have not seen either bird since. ?Both birds are new for my local patch which is SW of Stoneridge, off of Old Black Canyon Rd. ?Hopefully they’ll stick around and/or make an appearance for the count. ?
