[cobirds] Possible Golden-winged Warbler at Manitou Lake, Teller County

This morning I believe I saw a Golden-winged Warbler just north and east of the spillway bridge at the lake's outlet.  I was looking at a Black-capped Chickadee in some willow  shrubs south of the dam. I then saw a grey warbler-sized bird with a golden crown and subseqently I saw golden patches on the wings.  All of my looks were brief as this bird was slightly in the willows but the gold on wings and crown was unmistakable.  I was unable to get a photo.

The area has been quite active with literally hundreds of Yellow-rumped Warblers as well as Lark , Song , Brewers , Lincoln's and Chipping Sparrows.

Below is an ebird summary of what I saw this morning.
