Black-throated Sparrow // Amphispiza bilineata // Final Score: 11 // Rarity Class: 3 (Rare) // Conservation Status: Least Concern // eBird Sightings: 223,664 // eBird Photos: 12,165 // Continental Spread: 1 // Zooms: 2 // Story: After the Colima Death March, I opted for a much easier day of birding. I drove down to Rio Grande Village and decided a one mile-round trip hike was the way to go. And it was. It yielded 6 lifers and 6 checkmarks on the list. This was minted at Plaine, a coffee shop in Alpine, TX. My truck broke down here 9 days ago. I've been getting a lot of minting done. 5/2/22, 8:46 AM
