368. Brewer's Sparrow

Date         April 29, 2025

Location    Window Trail, Big Bend National Park, TX




The Window Trail is in the Chisos Mountain area of the park and is one of the possible places to find a Colima Warbler, so we chose this one to hike, starting out early in the morning.

To reach the trail proper, we had to snake our way through the campground. At the very beginning of the trail, we saw a couple of sparrows on the ground. We had been seeing Rufous-crowned Sparrows frequently so far on the trip, but this one was obviously different. After evaluating the "field marks" (which on this plain bird, is almost an absence of field marks), we determined that they were Brewer's. They were also pretty commonly seen at other times in the park.
