Every morning, I walk down from our vacation home in Estes Park to buy the Denver Post and bird along the way. This cold Sunday morning, I was surprised to find a very cooperative Nashville Warbler. The Nashville was located near the Other Side Restaurant, market, and liquor store at the intersection of Mary's Lake Road and Morraine Avenue on the west end of Estes Park. Entering the small shopping area from Morraine Avenue, the Nashville was behind the market and liquor store. There is a gravel parking area below and behind the buildings which can be reached by going between the market and liquor store. The Nashville was in bushes near the stream on the east side of the parking area very close to a fence with a picnic table behind it. This area behind the buildings has been a little hot spot most mornings.
I would not be surprised to have the Nashville Warbler on my home turf, but I know it is unusual here. Since this is our last full day in Colorado for this visit, finding the Nashville was a nice bonus.
