This morning at 9:00 I was walking the Big Thompson bike trail and had a group of BCCH calling and noticed a Prothonotary Warbler but I wasn't certain. It looked just like the one last year at Estes Lake, solid bright yellowish orange, blue gray wings with white undertail coverts. I think its a female. I noticed what seems to be a Eastern Screech Owl low in an aspen tree(digi scope pic attached). They were all doing alarm calls around him. The warbler then came back 30 min later for better looks which confirmed my ID. It's calls matched Sibley's app perfect. I didn't get pictures as I only had my scope and phone. It is hanging 200 yards west of the railroad tracks 15 feet off the trail on the north side. Owl sill here as of 10:17
Bird On!
