[cobirds] Boulder Black-throated Gray Warbler

I spent about an hour at CU East campus today, after finishing my last final of the semester earlier this morning, and it was very slow. A nice mix of swallows and a single chimney swift, I had twenty plus two days ago at the same location, were about the only migrants until I heard an
