[cobirds] Blackburnian Warbler in Fort Collins (Larimer)

['Juan Garcia' via Colorado Birds]

Sorry for late word on this -- a family issue caused the delay.

This morning around 10:45 I observed a juv/fem type Blackburnian Warbler in 
Lee Martinez Park, Fort Collins (Larimer).

Precise location: wood-planked steel bridge on West Poudre Trail about 1/8 
mi. W of the College Ave overpass (which passes over the Cache de la 
Poudre).

I was able to watch this individual for 15 minutes, with good looks at the 
principal field characters. Sorry no photos.

Double white wingbars, pale UTCs, yellow chin, yellow wash to breast and 
upper belly. Clear streaking to sides of breast. Face shows contrasting 
supercilium and classic triangular auricular patch. 

The bird was associating with a mid-sized mixed flock of American 
Goldfinches, Black-capped Chickadees, and a few House Finches. It was 
gleaning among the green or dying leaves of Hackberry and Cottonwood trees, 
mainly in the mid- to upper third.

[cobirds] Blackburnian Warbler in Pueblo 9/21

[Brandon]

Chris Knight and I saw a Blackburnian Warbler in the Rock Canyon Picnic
Area, on the North side of the Arkansas River, below Pueblo Reservoir dam,
this morning (21 Sept).  It was pretty much directly across the river from
the Fish Hatchery Ponds in cottonwood trees with a flock of other warblers
and vireos.

Pueblo has been getting some interesting warblers this fall so far, this is
the 2nd Blackburnian, there have been two Chestnut-sided, a Magnolia,
Northern Parula, a few Nashvilles, a few American Redstarts and Northern
Waterthrush, also lots of Townsend's Warblers and a hybrid Hermit x
Townsend's Warbler.  Hopefully there are more interesting warblers to come
to Pueblo this fall.

[cobirds] Blackburnian Warbler Barr Lake Adams Co.

[Susan Rosine]

September 1st. A Blackburnian Warbler was spotted flitting around the
banding station at Barr Lake State Park (Adams). It was with some
Townsend's Warblers. Larger numbers than usual of Townsend's seem to be all
over that area of Barr. If you see them, check for a Blackburnian Warbler
too!
I didn't believe my eyes, but I downloaded my pictures of the bird today!

Earlier today I had a Blackburnian Warbler foraging in Rabbit brush along 
the Arkansas River trail at the location of the Carolina Wren.   It was 
with a flock of Dark-eyed Juncos and was joined by a flock of Bushtits.

[cobirds] Blackburnian warbler 11-16

[Karl Stecher Jr.]

There were seven or eight of us searching for the warbler yesterday 
afternoon.  I was there for about an hour and a quarter before someone else 
relocated it. Of note for birders...this is only the second one I have seen 
in Colorado. The first was with Harold Holt in the 1970s. But I heard them 
(and saw) many times at summer camp in Connecticut, with the end of their 
song going up and out of my hearing range.  I was happy to see this one.
 From the intersection of Nelson Road (east-west) and Airport, go south on 
Airport. Staghorn is about a quarter block down on your left.  Keep going.  
In about another one block's distance the north and south lanes are 
separated by a short center island, seemingly about 40 yards long. If you 
are headed south you will see the island marked at its northernmost point 
by a diamond shaped yellow sign.  If you were standing at that sign, you 
would be where I saw the bird...directly east across the northbound lanes 
in a cluster of three trees, almost next to the road. The bird was first in 
the largest center tree, then flew to the tree to its north.  These trees 
are a short distance north of the trail mentioned in previous posts.
 Binoculars may be good for scanning...but the bird, which cannot walk out 
on a pine needle for its aphid meal, flits up, grabs a bite, then sits on a 
branch.  It was very active...so I recommend just eye-scanning the trees 
for flashes of movement.
 Today promises snow and wind, but who knows how accurate that forecast 
will be.
 Good luck to everyone.

A group of us searched the whole SE corner where we saw it fly into but we were 
unsuccessful in refinding the bird again. We found some other late migrants 
such as a Western Wood Pewee, Hammonds Flycatcher, Yellow Warbler, and a high 
count of Townsends Warblers tallied at 9.

[cobirds] Blackburnian Warbler along Poudre, Fort Collins (Larimer)

[DAVID A LEATHERMAN]

I had a very brief look at a BLACKBURNIAN WARBLER north of Prospect Rd this 
afternoon.  I was on the west side of the river just south of the little bridge 
that crosses Spring Creek (used to be a sign here that said "Confluence Pond"). 
 At this point along the bike trail there is a mowed lane that goes east over 
to a strange patch of pavement on the bank of the river.  This is between the 
Riverbend Office Building just n of Prospect and the place to the north we used 
to call the "Good Spot".  The bird was first heard in willows on the east side 
of the river.  It was moving from tree to tree n to s.  I got enough of a look 
for an ID but that's about it.  Doubt that this bird is chaseable.  Looked like 
a Townsend's Warbler in terms of yellowish, patterned head but back was striped 
and brownish with blackish wings with bold white wingbars.  Chip note struck me 
as "metallic" but somewhat subdued, perhaps by noise of river water.


Otherwise, the riparian areas both north and south of Prospect along the west 
side of the Poudre River were VERY slow.  Getting 30 species was difficult.  
Did see a Buckeye butterfly amid all the Painted Ladies on rabbitbrush at 
Cattail Chorus hill.  Only other migrants were a Spotted Towhee, two 
Ruby-crowned Kinglets, three White-crowned Sparrows and one unidentified 
warbler I think strongly was an Orange-crowned.  Not even a Yellow-rump in 
autumn prime time.  Ho hum.

[cobirds] Blackburnian Warbler at Prospect Ponds (Larimer)

[Andrew Bankert]

I just got a text from Dave Wade about a Blackburnian Warbler at the
Prospect Ponds SE parking lot.  He said there were a lot of birds around.

I checked some migrant traps in the eastern part of the county before work
this morning without much luck.  I wonder if the river corridors are the
place to be with this weather!

Good Birding!

[cobirds] Blackburnian Warbler, Larimer County, Colorado

[Sean Walters]

Hello Everyone,

I ran across a Blackburnian Warbler along the canal behind our house
today. It was very difficult to detect and continue to watch
(relatively slow moving bird in thick trees!) and when I returned ~20
minutes later I could not refind it, even after 1.5 hrs. About 4 hrs
later, I looked again and managed to refind it in the midst of the
rain. I just looked now that the rain stopped and I again refound it.
If interested in chasing it, just email me. It isn't always easy to
find unless you know where it is. This past time took me 15 minutes to
find it in the top of a large cottonwood right next to the tree I
originally found it in.

[cobirds] Blackburnian Warbler/Larimer

[Rob Sparks]

I took a quick birding bike ride along the Poudre Bike Trail and I had a 
male Blackburnian Warbler about 0.45 miles west of the Poudre Bike Trail 
and Lee Martinez Park trail intersection.  Then the rain came down and I 
lost it foraging high in some cottonwood trees.


good birding,

[cobirds] Blackburnian Warbler continues in Colo Spgs, El Paso County

[Bill Maynard]

COBirders,

 

Thanks to a number of phone calls and text messages, I drove to Beidleman
Nature Center, a.k.a. Catamount Institute, a part of Sondermann Park in Colo
Spgs to search for the previously reported Blackburnian Warbler (by Bob
Gooycolea via Ken Pals), first seen on 23 May.  The warbler sang briefly and
then foraged quietly for long periods at all heights in most of the trees,
coniferous and deciduous, mostly in ones surrounding the parking lot.
Spanky or cherried out male.

[cobirds] Blackburnian Warbler -- Colorado Springs, El Paso Co. 5/25

[Brandon K. Percival]

Just before noon, the beautiful adult male Blackburnian Warbler was seen by 
several of us (Kara Carragher, Lisa Edwards, Bill Maynard, Bob Harnish, and 
couple other birders).  It was in the North East part of the parking lot, in 
the ponderosa pines trees.  The bird was also seen by Robb Hinds, a little 
later this afternoon.  It seems to be hanging out the tall trees in the parking 
lot.  Parking is difficult, have to park on the street, and walk to the park.  
Great bird!

[cobirds] Blackburnian Warbler, Colorado Springs, El Paso County update

[Ken Christie Pals]

COBirders,
The Blackburnian Warbler reported earlier was still around the parking area
at the Beidlelman Environmental Center/Catamount Institute as of 7:00 p.m.
this evening.  Allan and Theresa Burns, Seetta Moss, Robb Hines were
already there to help me find it. It was in the pines in the NE corner of
the parking lot and then it flew to the SW corner above the creek and was
foraging in the top of a cottonwood tree positioned between two Ponderosa
Pine trees.
Great Bird!

[cobirds] Blackburnian Warbler - BCLP - Jeffco

[mike]

Fairly birdy at Bear Creek Lake Park (BCLP)this morning.  More  
migrants than I have seen earlier.


Got 3 glimpses of a male Blackburnian Warbler (still very brilliantly  
colored with flaming orange  yellow) as he fed in the upper half of a  
large cottonwood tree before taking off high in the area going south.   
This is a new bird for the BCLP checklist.  The bird was seen in the  
area where Bear Creek enters into the lake and can be accessed from  
either the Boat Launch area or from Pelican Point with the low water  
levels.


Other migrants of note:

Pelican Point - both Eastern  Western Kingbirds, a first winter  
female Yellow-rumped Warbler (FOS), and both Wilson's and Yellow  
Warblers.


Inlet area where Bear Creek empties into the lake - Besides the  
Blackburnian Warbler, had a male Common Yellowthroat, and both  
Wilson's and Yellow Warblers and a Gray Catbird.


Around Fitness # 1 and in all directions had 4 Sage Thrashers, a  
female Orchard Oriole, 2 Clay-colored Sparrows, a Brewer's Sparrow,  
Chipping sparrows, and a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher.

[cobirds] Blackburnian Warbler, Boulder

[gent]

All,

Bruce Webb and I birded the East CU Campus early this morning.
There was a male Blackburnian Warbler on the south side of
Boulder Creek immediately north of the running track.  It was
mostly silent, but would sing softly occasionally.  We also
refound the Black-throated Gray Warbler, which was singing
much more vigorously, and was along the skunk creek trail.
There was also a female Rose-breasted Grosbeak, and a couple
of Clay-colored Sparrows,

Cheers,  Peter Gent.

[cobirds] Blackburnian Warbler in Greeley (Weld) on 11/19

[Dave Leatherman]

With the permission of Ruth and Milton Dick who are the hosts, this is a 
posting for a BLACKBURNIAN WARBLER in their Greeley (Weld) yard.  The bird, 
probably a first-fall male, has been present since 11November, first seen by 
the Dicks.  It forages mostly in some big, aphid-laden, Austrian Pines in their 
backyard at 2125 15th STREET.  This address is at the junction of 15th STREET, 
and 22nd AVENUE about a block northwest of the Northern Colorado Medical Center 
near the UNC campus and not far from Glenmere Park.  

The bird is viewable from the alley on the north side of the house.  The pines 
somewhat overtop the alley and if you park on 22nd or just into the alley e of 
22nd Ave. at the northwest corner of their backyard, you may be able to view 
the bird from your car.  It also comes down out of the pine trees and has been 
seen on several occasions in a grape vine heavily-laden with fruit growing on a 
low fence on the north side of the alley opposite the northeast corner of the 
Dick's back fence.  This grape vine would also be viewable from a car parked in 
the alley just e of 22nd.

Some of the pertinent neighbors on the north side of the alley north of the 
Dick's yard know about the bird and are reservedly OK with visitors.  OF 
COURSE, visitors should be respectful of all concerned in this neighborhood, 
not go in any backyards, not block the alley, or not block access to parking 
from the alley by these neighbors to the north.

[cobirds] Blackburnian Warbler at Dinosaur NM

[Scott Schuette]

A few days ago (5/22) while conducting transects for RMBO I came across a male 
Blackburnian Warbler at a small seep in Pinyon-Juniper habitat above the Yampa 
River near Deerlodge Park in Dinosaur NM.  Other migrants of some note or maybe 
just personal interest to me at Dinosaur over the past few days were a Myrtle 
Yellow-rumped Warbler also at Deerlodge Park on 5/23 and a small group of 
Eastern Kingbirds along with a female Bobolink near Echo Park yesterday (5/24).

RE: [cobirds] Blackburnian Warbler, Boulder Creek Path

As far as I know, the Blackburnian has not been re-found. I was down there for 
an hour myself with no luck. The YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER is still kicking 
around, as well as a few things like a HERMIT THRUSH and a MERLIN. Other than 
that it was pretty slow.

[cobirds] Blackburnian Warbler at Last Chance

[DAVID A LEATHERMAN]

At about 2:30 this afternoon, November 5, I observed a first-fall female 
Blackburnian Warbler working the Siberian Elms all around the black swamp at 
Last Chance (Washington County).  It wasn't the dullest they can be (the upper 
breast/lower throat had a golden glow to it when viewed head-on) but almost.  I 
believe this bird was after European Elm Flea Weevils among the many other 
insects flying today, and was on the move.  I got a couple bad photos but one 
shows the pale yellow crown patch Sibley shows as characteristic of this 
species, age, and sex.
 
Not much else except an American Tree Sparrow (my FOS), a singing solitaire off 
to the west, a dark Song Sparrow subspecies, and robins.

[cobirds] Blackburnian Warbler/Larimer

[Rob Sparks]

While birding my way to work today there was a female Blackburnian
Warbler along the Poudre bike trail.  This rare fall migrant had
orange yellow upper breast and throat.  I also saw a grayish back and
dark auriculars that looked fairly broad.  Other birds seen were
Wilson’s Warblers, Western Tanager and Cedar Waxwings.  These birds
were about 100 feet from the Lee Martinez Park parking lot and once
you get to the bike trail 20 feet east on the north side.

[cobirds] Blackburnian Warbler, Canon City

[millerrichj]

I stopped at Veterans Park in Canon City this morning to see if the  
Black-throated Blue Warbler was still around.  I found the BTBW plus a  
Blackburnian Warbler nearby.  There were also several Yellow-rumped  Warblers 
in the 
park.  These warblers were all found in the hackberry trees  behind the 
Tourist Info Center.
 
Veterans Park is on US 50 at the west side of town.

[cobirds] Blackburnian Warbler--Crow Valley/Briggsdale (Weld)

[markchavez]

Today, Tom Lechleitner, John Rutherford and I birded Crow Valley Camground.  
The cool weather brought some nice birds including a first fall male 
Blackburnian Warbler.  The bird was with a mixed flock of many Wilson's, couple 
of Townsend's, Cassin's Vireo, and a couple of Empid Flycatchers.  While 
searching for the Nashville Warbler seen earlier in the day, we found a 
Blackpoll Warbler away from the main flock.  I will add the distant photos of 
the Blackburnian and Blackpoll to the gallery below later today.   Birds of 
interest found today were:

Blackburnian Warbler
Blackpoll Warbler
Townsend's Warbler--3
Wilson's Warbler --many
Nashville Warbler--Rutherford only
Common Yellowthroat
Macgillvray's Warbler
Hermit Thrush
Swainson's Thrush--many
Townsend's Solitaire
Dark-eyed Junco (pink-sided)-early
Empid Flycather--many
Western Wood- Pewee
Cassin's Vireo
Lincoln's Sparrow-2
Brewer's Sparrow-2
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher
Western Tanager
Ruby-crowned Kinglet

[cobirds] Blackburnian Warbler, Betasso Preserve, Boulder

[Walter M Szeliga]

Dear Cobirders,
I headed out to the Ponderosa Pine forests of Boulder County this  
morning (8/25) to try and track down a Townsend's Warbler.  First stop  
was Bald Mountain Open Space, where we quickly realized that the bird- 
of-the-day was going to be Western Bluebird.  These guys were  
everywhere in every state of molt and wear.  Also present were a few  
Mountain Bluebirds and a surprising number of Yellow-rumped Warblers  
and Plumbeous Vireos.  No Townsend's Warblers though, so we headed  
over to Betasso Preserve.  We walked counter to the bike traffic and  
had a fairly birdy time finding more Plumbeous Vireos, a pile of  
Turkey feathers without the Turkey, more Western and Mountain  
Bluebirds and Red Crossbills (type 2 I believe).  When we returned to  
the parking lot, we noticed a female Western Tanager fly into a tree  
near the bathroom.  When I picked up my binoculars to look at the  
Western Tanager, I noticed that the branch behind it held a Warbler.   
My first instinct was Townsend's Warbler, but I quickly realized that  
it's face was suffused with orange.  Better looks revealed it to be a  
Blackburnian Warbler.  The bird headed down the upper trail and I was  
unable to relocate it.  It was last seen at around 12:30.  Good luck  
to anyone who pokes around for it.

Cheers,
Walter Szeliga
Boulder, CO

[cobirds] Blackburnian Warbler, Louisville

[Paula Hansley]

At 11:15 this morning I heard a Blackburnian Warbler singing in a wooded
area between the Coal Creek trail and the Coal Creek golf course.He sang the
sweet, thin, ascending song-- not the one on the Cornell website.  The bird
sang three times on the far side of a grove of trees then came closer to a
clear cut area under a power line and sang once at 11:30.  I went closer
into the trees but never heard or saw the bird again.

Directions:  From MacCaslin Blvd. turn south onto Dillon Rd and go .45 mile;
turn right into Coal Creek Business Park; take first left into Boulder
Valley Credit Union driveway and park.  Walk toward the large power pole
next to the Coal Creek trail to the south.  The grove of trees (cottonwoods
and Russian olives) is triangular with the apex of the triangle near the
power pole and the bottom by the golf course.  One side is the clear cut
area and the other is bounded by a beige maintenance building.  Watch for
ticks and flying golf balls.

Even though I didn't see him, I am familiar with the warbler and its song
and with the up slopes during June, I'm not surprised.

I hope someone else can see or at least hear him.  This is a very accessible
area.

[cobirds] Blackburnian Warbler (Chico Basin Ranch - Pueblo)

[Bill Maynard]

COBirders,

With an overnight shift in the wind direction, a new batch of migrants
finally arrived at Chico Basin Ranch this morning (fee area).  At the
Rose Pond in Pueblo County, I heard a high-pitched song I thought was
either Cape May or Bay-breasted Warbler,  I wasn't disappointed to find
the song came from a flamed-out Blackburnian Warbler, mostly difficult to
see near the top of a plains cottonwood.  The name Blackburnian honors
the 18th-century English botanist, Anna Blackburne.  

Other migrants in the Pueblo County part of Chico (the RMBO boys will
tell about their banded birds) included:

Black Tern - 12 or more at HQ Pond
Forster's Tern - 1 at HQ Pond
American Redstart - 1 (female type) at HQ
Yellow-breasted Chat - 1 at Rose Pond
Gray Catbird - lots
Lincoln's Sparrow - lots
Orchard Oriole - two pairs from HQ and Rose
Red-headed Woodpecker - 1 in alfalfa field area
Lots of Swainson's Thrushes
Indigo Bunting - 1 female
Rose-breasted Grosbeak - one singing male

Migration is still in progress here. It ain't over until its over. Yogi
Berra
