 Baird's Sparrow

 

 

Baird's Sparrows are considered review-list species in Texas, though they it is likely that they are both regular migrants as well as regular winter residents in the Trans-Pecos region of the state.   Howard Laidlaw and I were hoping for a Baird's when we kicked up these 2 individuals a few miles south of Marfa on RM 2810 on 22 November 2004.   The first bird flushed up on to the fence line and we subsequently found it next to another bird just ahead of us in the roadside grass.   It was not until we inspected our photos that we realized that both birds (bottom photo) had been present on the fence line, along with the more numerous Savannah Sparrows, when we initially found the first Baird's.
