Thanks for sharing Dave! I went by 1520 W. Mountain Ave. (Fort Collins) this afternoon and was treated to a visit by the continuing Yellow-throated Warbler. Luke, the owner, mentioned that the bird has been more active on these warm days. In addition to visiting the feeder, it also spent about 10 minutes flittering about the deciduous tree in the back yard.
I also visited "Sherwood Forest" on the CSU campus this afternoon. Of note were two Myrtle Yellow-rump Warblers flycatching from the trees located between the Forestry Building and the Oval.
