I visited Bobcat Ridge Natural Area just sw of Masonville today and was told by
Ranger Karl the American Woodcocks have not been seen for at least 3 days.
Some very good birders have searched during this time period to no avail. Karl
has a very keen eye for those birds and when he says he hasn't seen them, my
bet would be they have moved elsewhere.
I also went to 1520 W. Mountain Avenue (Fort Collins) today to check on the
Yellow-throated Warbler and was told by resident Luke Caldwell he saw it once
this morning (2/23). He says it has a VERY irregular schedule, with it being
more likely to visit the feeder in the morning of cold days. I did NOT see the
bird during my visit from 3-4PM this afternoon (but did see 2 Bushtits come to
the suet, along with the regular common species). I also heard a report from a
reliable source that a Yellow-throated Warbler was seen on or about 19February
in the "Sherwood Forest", a little plot of mature trees just south of the
Forestry Building on the CSU Campus. The Forestry Building is sw of the
Administration Building, which sits at the south end of the Oval, for those of
you familiar with campus. Same individual roaming over an area of miles or a
second Yellow-throated Warbler? Either scenario would be remarkable.
