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.
