As promised, the possible Tennessee Warbler photos were reviewed. I continue to be puzzled by the apparent pointy, non-vireo-like bill, which was my reason all along for wanting to rule out any vireos. Jon Dunn's warbler book observes that Philadelphia and Warbling Vireos "show an indistinct pale arc under the eye, absent in Tennessee Warbler." My bird has those arcs, and I have concluded that the evidence tilts to Warbling Vireo.

I was lucky to find two Magnolia Warblers in Boulder today. Highlights today: St. Andrew's Church, Baseline Road. The church is about a mile east of US 36 on the south side of Baseline Road. The birds were at the tops of deciduous trees along Bear Creek to the west of the church. Magnolia Warbler. A male. Likely the same bird found by Ted Floyd yesterday and refound later by Christian Nunes. Tennessee Warbler. I'm having a photo looked at by others, but I'm pretty sure it's a Tennessee. If not, I will correct. Black-throated Gray Warbler, 1 Sale Lake. Sale Lake is on the north side of Kalmia about 1/4 mile east of US 36. Magnolia Warbler, 1 male. I found this bird along the walk that goes west from the SW corner of the lake. George Young came along, I told him about the Mag, and he refound it, giving us long looks and lots of singing. Yellow Warblers Orange-crowned Warbler Western Tanager, several Clay-colored Sparrow, just one. Baseline Road, about 1/4 mile west of Cherryvale. Bobolinks.
