CObirders, Bob Chase found the yellow-throated warbler this morning near where it was first seen yesterday, along the trail in the bird sanctuary at Lake Estes. He told us it stayed in the same area all the time he was watching it.
I guess that gave us an excuse for a second cup of coffee and a later arrival. And that cost us an hour of following yellow-rumps to find it again ... in the same spot where Bob had been watching it. By that time I felt like the bird was having some sport with us. To add insult to injury, we saw the bird once more as we walked out, near the pond. At the same time we spotted a very late birder, and we waved him on. He came running, the bird went flying. They almost had a head-on. The birder stopped, the bird stopped. And he had his lifer yellow-throated warbler. Having had the bird delivered to him, he walked out with us, braving our complaints. Blue skies suggest our warbler will likely leave overnight. Maybe it just needed to be seen by our tardy birder.
