Having barely birded in the state of CO since taking a job with Opticron

Creek Park in west Longmont, just west of Silver Creek High School. They
We all agreed that this was a perfect final day for the fall - we

County on county rd. 2, at the Andrick Ponds SWA, there was an immature

BLACK-THROATED BLUE WARBLERS: 2, females. One by parking lot
This weekend the hackberry trees at the Riverwalk and Veteran's Park came
alive with migrants. There were numerous Yellow-rumped Warblers, Townsend
Warblers and Ruby-crowned Kinglets. Also several Orange-crowned Warblers,
one Black and White Warbler and one Magnolia Warbler were seen. At
I still have Yellow-rumped Warblers, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Rufous-sided
