One element of Red Rock Canyon that I probably don’t need to see much better is the Black-throated Sparrow. … For comparison purposes, here is a shot of a Black-chinned Sparrow, another desert sparrow found at Red Rock Canyon. … I hope you liked these shots of Black-throated Sparrows.

I’m one of those people who thinks all birds are beautiful, from the drab House Sparrow to the pink Roseate Spoonbill. The Mountain Bluebird is one of the most striking birds in the United States, and is the state bird of both Nevada and Idaho.

Corey’s Best Bird of the Weekend was a surprise Swamp Sparrow at the Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve in Nevada. Sure, he saw lots of other great birds more typical of the desert Southwest that he rarely gets to see but the Swamp Sparrow was the only one that set of the sirens at eBird headquarters! How about you?

Corey did just this in this 2011 posting about Vesper Sparrow Pooecetes gramineus in New York State. You can see the Species Account for Henslow’s Sparrow above, in the banner photo. The most common bird in the state is the Song Sparrow, followed by Chipping Sparrow and Red-eyed Vireo, with American Robin coming in fourth.

I didn’t travel much this year, with a June family trip to California and Nevada and a four-day trip in July to Trinidad and Tobago being my only opportunities to get birds not in the northeastern United States. My first trip to Nevada since I became a birder was pretty awesome. But what were my top ten birding moments of 2013?

Finally we went past the Yerba Loca (National Park) entrance and then to the first road split which goes to Sierra Nevada Valley, to the right and to Farellones town to the left. From here we drove back down to take the road to Sierra Nevada Valley. We could see the towers and wires for the chair lifts in many places. Moutain Caracara.
