I was able to squeeze in a little birding between errands and found a bright, male PINE WARBLER with a flock of BC Chickadees, juncos and Red-breasted Nuthatches in the Denver West Office Park, in the west metro area. The flock was in the riparian area of Lena Gulch, just east of Building number 4. The warbler was confiding.
Enter the office park from West Colfax on Cole Blvd and inspect the large sign which is a map of all the buildings and roads. Building number 4 is situated in the far southeast corner of this complex. Or enter from I-70 at the Denver West Blvd exit and Cole Blvd (which is a long looping road) is the next cross street you come to. Again, look for signage. Park east of Bldg 4 and walk to the bushes near where the adjacent road, Orchard Drive, makes a sharp corner. Historical note: On the south side of Bldg number 4, a small feeder was in use by a Pine Warbler and other birds several years ago. The feeder is still there, but was empty when I walked past. Note of interest: On Google maps, the south end of Bldg 4 is labelled "EXECUTIVE INTELLIGENCE," which is both a business operation with that building and additionally may be an oxymoron.
