CObirders, The yellow-throated warbler is still at the bird sanctuary at Lake Estes. It has apparently moved and taken up with a comely American Redstart. Yesterday afternoon and today, the bird was found on Pine Point. A trail just east of the pond leads to that area.
I'll quit trying to guess how long it will stay. Last year about this time a pine warbler showed up at a feeder and stayed for the Christmas Bird Count. With the migration of birders back to the sanctuary, other warblers have been spotted, including a male Wilson's and a female common yellowthroat. Throw in the yellow-rumps and you have a surprising October assortment. Meanwhile, Julie and I added a yard bird today when a white-throated sparrow appeared. That's #113, if you let me count the chukar and the dead sora found in the drive (it had to be alive to get there, right?). How about one out of the two?
