Hi All,
I couldn't find Rachel Hopper's Yellow-throated Warbler, but I've had a few real good mixed flocks along the trail between Taft and Wilson in Loveland the last couple of days. The Woodbine (Virginia Creeper) has good berries and so do the Russian Olives.
Here's a list of what I've seen: Quite a few immature and adult White-crowned Sparrows, several Spotted Towhees, a few Mountain Chickadees (early), 2 different flycatchers (unable to ID), Brown Creeper, Ruby-crowned Kinglets, more than one Plumbeous Vireo, Warbling Vireo, Wilson's, Orange-crowned, Yellow-rumped Warblers, Western Wood-Peewee, Bushtits, Song Sparrows, Cedar Waxwings, White-breasted Nuthatch, and first-time I've seen on the trail a Fox Sparrow (altivagans type). the Fox SP was very large and perched quite near a Song SP, so difference was easy to see. Regulars were also quite showy -- Blue Jays, gobs of Robins, Common Grackles, Red-wing Blackbirds, Starlings, Flickers, Black-capped Chickadees, etc.
Also, has anyone else seen a Blue Jay hawking insects?
And there was a raptor being chased by Red-wing Blackbirds - - it flew like a kite or falcon, mostly dark, but had very bright broad white along the outer edges of tail, seemed a bit stubbier than a Peregrine -- any ideas?
