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. Dave Leatherman Fort Collins
