This late afternoon between 5:00 and 6:00 I was birding in the Cobb Lake
Unit of the Wellington State Wildlife Area in Larimer County. This Unit is
located between East County Roads 56 and 58, and just west of North County
Road 3. Decent birds were a Townsend's Solitaire, Say's Phoebe, Lincoln's
Sparrow, and Wilson's, Orange-crowned, and (Audubon's) Yellow-rumped
Warblers, as well a Sharp-shinned Hawk and two Northern Harriers (always
good for those there, it seems).
The highlight, though, was a (western) Palm Warbler, which I saw fly low to
the ground then into a juniper (I think but not sure about that part--sorry
Dave Leatherman). It cooperated quite well, remaining in the same tree for
several minutes. I was able to get good photos, and one can see the
tail-pumping characteristic in the first two photos (sequence) and then in
other photos in which the tail is blurred. The bird was silent.
The photos can be viewed at
