Refound, 11:00, this time north of the volleyball net where it was
first reported. I had spent almost three hours searching for the bird
Saturday (right after it was refound by Waltman, Kaempfer, and
apparently most of the rest the of Boulder County birder population)
without success. I must admit that I had developed a fairly intense
case of bitterness and resentment toward the bird. So, this morning,
armed with good binoculars and a bad attitude, I set off track down the
uncooperative little @#$%!. Fortunately, I was not otherwised armed,
or we both might have been in trouble (the bird and I, that is!). I
immediately encountered Alec Brown on the trail, who in turn spotted
the bird and pointed it out to me. Took about five minutes. So to
date, it's Norm 1, warbler 1. Better than the Nuggets, anyway. There
was also a nice red-naped sapsucker working the trees around the area
where David reported the warbler earlier.
A walk a mile to the west (Warbler Woods) produced surprisingly little,
except one very cooperative and handsome (beautiful? Not sure of the
sex) Cooper's hawk.
A quick stop at Mesa Trailhead wasn't much better- a couple of
butterbutts and a FOY ruby-crowned kinglet. Doudey Draw was really
dead- the thicket on the west side of the trail and the two migrant
traps had nothing at all.
Norm Lewis
avenged against the warbler!
