Hello birders, with high hopes that this change in weather would bring in some migrants, I went to explore the area around Prospect Ponds NA and CSU's Environmental Learning Center early this afternoon. In the shoreline trees west of the parking lot to Prospect Ponds NA (near the water treatment plant) was a brilliant male Blackburnian Warbler. I saw it for only the briefest moment but the instant I saw it, I recognized it immediately. Out loud, I said, Oh My God...Blackburnian! I whipped out my camera but soon thereafter, it was gone. I sent an alert text and quickly had Joe Mammoser, Andy Bankart and Dave Leatherman all looking for it but we couldn't relocate it. It was traveling in a large mixed flock of mostly Wilson's, Townsend's and Chickadees. We refound the flock and I pulled out a female American Redstart but not the Blackburnian.
Good luck and good bird'n David Wade Ft Collins, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
