Today on a visit to Mesa Verde Nat'l Park with my family, I found a female type Townsend's Warbler along the Spruce Canyon trail, about half a mile down from the trailhead/dwellings area. The bird was in a mixed flock of bushtits, chickadees, and two Black-throated Grey Warblers. This seems really early for Townsend's, so I figured it would be worth reporting. I was able to get one pretty bad (but diagnostic) picture of the bird before it disappeared.
