[cobirds] Pine Warbler - Belmar Park - Lakewood/ Jeffco

Hello All,

This morning Chuck Aid, Rob Raker, and I visited Belmar Historic Park
in Lakewood. We looked at many Yellow-rumped Warblers (mostly
Audubon) during the morning and in one mixed flock picked out a bright
yellow male Pine Warbler. The prominent white wing bars alerted us to
something unusual, and we were able to get good looks of the male pine
Warbler. Other birds of note included a Ruby-crowned Kinglet in
another mixed flock and a Clay-colored Sparrow. The Osprey also put
on quite a show diving into the lake several times. Most of the birds
we saw were on the west and south sides of the lake. The flock with
the Pine Warbler was on the west side of the lake.

While walking my dog tonight in Willow Springs, I saw two Red-naped
Sapsuckers in what was once the old Western Bible Institute campus
(just north of the 8th hole on the Red Rocks Golf Course).
