[cobirds] Correction to Yellow-throated Vireo, Larimer County

In my previous post on this sighting I incorrectly gave Riverbend Ponds Natural Area; the correct one is

Prospect Ponds Natural Area, south of Prospect Road in Fort Collins, with parking at the end of Sharp Point Drive. 

Also, though I said, "near the parking lot," the bird was, to be more accurate, in the trees between

the bike path and the river after following the bike and then foot trail around the bend from the parking lot, 

about 125-150 yards.

 

Apologies for the error and poor location information.

This afternoon between 1:00 and 1:30 I saw and photographed (poor quality, but sufficient to confirm)

a Yellow-throated Vireo along the Poudre River Trail near the parking lot at the southern end of

Riverbend Ponds Natural Area in Fort Collins. I saw the bird briefly then took a couple of quick

photos from a fair distance, and then it flew off and I could not locate it again, but I was only there about 20 minutes

total; and I never heard it. The photos are blurry, but show the yellow and white body, the brighter yellow around the eye,

the white wing bars, and the larger bill of a vireo. The photos can be seen here:

There were also several Wilson's Warblers.
