This is an interesting thread. Brandon is correct in answering David Leatherman's question, of "what's next?" with the reply, "pretty much anything." And there are specific, evidence-based answers to David's intriguing question:
First, *Pine Warbler* is not our only "winter warbler." That status also applies to *Cape May Warbler*, with multiple "after Halloween" records. It has been found at bird feeders in winter and visited both Jane Axtell's and Alex Cruz's feeders daily for a week or more. (Keep that suet feeder filled, and find a source for overnight Fed-Ex delivery of meal worms). Another winter warbler is *Painted Redstart*. Two of Colorado's first four Painted Redstart records were from late fall: Oct 25 through November 8 in El Paso County and November 16 through 22, Larimer County. And I recall, possibly correctly, that Peter Gent explored a southeast Colorado woodlot in December, a long time ago, and the only bird present was a hardy *Connecticut Warbler*. This ancient information is from "Bob and Bob," where else? Joe Roller, Denver On Sun, Nov 17, 2013 at 7:06 AM, Brandon K.
