I found the reported Blue-winged Warbler this morning at about 8:15 singing across the eastern boundary of Welchester Tree Grant Park in Lakewood (8th Ave) and called it in for a good look. It was a three note buzz, not the two note I am used to in the East. State bird only one mile from my home!

THANKS to Stephanie Jones for this great find. First Jeffco record I am aware of this one was documented in Golden in 1961. (ref Bob and Bob) It is loyal to the riparian at its downstream exit from the Park onto private property. It could be heard at a distance. At least 14 birders have seen it,

CoBirders, My visit at Crow Valley today did not produce anything note worthy compared to earlier visits this week and last. While I still saw about the same number of species,around 50, I did not have any new warblers. In fact I saw only Yellow, one Yellow-rumped and one Wilson's Warbler. I did
