[cobirds] Painted Redstart NOT FOUND this evening in Eagle

Vic Zerbi was able to take the time to drive to Eagle this evening, where he

met Rebecca Bracket, who had seen a Painted Redstart there 3 days ago.

She has visited the site daily since then without seeing it again.

Vic searched for the bird without success. He noted that the habitat consisted

of only a few trees - not likely to entice this mega-rarity to stick around.

He is convinced that her ID was correct, based on a thorough discussion

about what she saw and how she was able to rule out similar species. Hopefully

she will submit a report to the Colorado Bird Record Committee.

So, the good news is that, thanks to Vic, we do not need to hustle over 

there tomorrow. 

Some good warblers have been seen lately (Tennessee,

Painted Redstart, Blackpoll Warbler), so what will be found next?

Good luck!

Joe Roller, 

Denver
