Re: [cobirds] Blackburnian Warbler continues in Colo Spgs, El Paso County

I stopped by sondermann around 10:45 and the area where  the warbler was found was full of people.  Looked like a wedding reception.  Streamers tied to the trees etc.  No parking spaces.  You might want to delay your visit.

COBirders,

 

Thanks to a number of phone calls and text messages, I drove to Beidleman Nature Center, a.k.a. Catamount Institute, a part of Sondermann Park in Colo Spgs to search for the previously reported Blackburnian Warbler (by Bob Gooycolea via Ken Pals), first seen on 23 May.  The warbler sang briefly and then foraged quietly for long periods at all heights in most of the trees, coniferous and deciduous, mostly in ones surrounding the parking lot.  Spanky or “cherried out” male.
