This bird certainly looks right for a Bay-breasted Warbler, though why does it
have light colored legs and feet. Shouldn't they be black, or do immature
birds in the fall, sometimes have light colored legs and feet. I don't
remember seeing one, without black legs and feet.
Congrats to
I just read in the Warblers Guide, by Jon Dunn and Kimball Garrett, about
Bay-breasted Warblers Legs and feet usually dark, which probably means, it is
possible for them to not have dark legs and feet, like the Boulder bird. This
bird looks perfect for a Bay-breasted Warbler, cool bird, and
As of 10:30am the Bay-breasted was still present. Others may update for later.
It was starting to get its energy back after sitting in the same spot for
quite some time. When I was leaving it had flitted back and forth a few times.
Hoping it sticks around. The expected high winds may not
If you arrive and no one is there, try looking at the easternmost of the
two pine
trees, 1/2 to 2/3 of the way to the top, in the branches that are closest
to windows in the office building.

Great bird, great detection and ID work Mr. Contreras and Mr. Nunes, great
photography Tom and Glenn. Can see why Pine was in the initial list of species
being considered and I agree with Brandon about those legs seeming atypical in
color. Bay on flank, shortish tail, and strength of wingbars
Hi Dave,
The entire time I watched the bird it was very methodical. It started on a
lower branch and worked its way outward. It then hopped up a branch and
worked its way back to the trunk. It continued to do this, just moving
around and upwards. It seemed to pick at whatever needles were
you nailed it!!

Today, I had my final subspecies of Junco show up at my home here north of
Woodland Park in Teller County - white-winged (aikenii). And all 6 races but
one are present today (missing hyemalis today).
That completes the group of six that I eagerly await each fall - in order of
first appearance
One male and two female long-tailed ducks remain at Big Johnson Reservoir in El
Paso County. Park in the lower of the two parking lots and scope the lake to
the north - they were seen in that general location for about two hours this
morning, approximately the same area the loons like to hang
Hi Cobirders --
A few species of note around Denver County.
Today at City Park:
Hybrid goose. Associating with Cackling Geese of one of the larger
subspecies. All white neck and head, bill smaller than Snow or Canada. I
won't venture any specific guesses as to parentage, but it's worth

As of 2:30pm the Bay-breasted Warbler remains in the same tree. Turn
north on Center Green Drive, and it's in the first pine tree between the
first two buildings on the left.
I think it's picking insects from the pine needles and branches. I have
not seen it fly or hover-glean for

Fairly certain I am looking at a PAcific Loon in NE corner 330pm. Very distant.
There is a common loon closer to the middle of the lake for comparison. Seems
to match my Sibley picture of juvenile Pacific. Viewing from dam on w side with

The flooded fields at ~ 100th Ave and Tower Road yielded a few Killdeer,
Ring-billed Gulls, Mallards and Shovelers. A gazillion Canada Geese and one
Bald Eagle. No phalarope, dowitchers or avocets. Guess the excitement's
over.

Or maybe fewer of them. When I arrived mid-morning, Mark Chavez pointed it out
to me in the near tree. Within 15 minutes it flew to the far pine tree. It
gleaned for 15 minutes, then sat still--really still--for 15 minutes, while
Mark clicked 500 photos and many other people strained to see a
