[cobirds] MacGillivray's Warbler and other yard birds / Denver

Our second-ever MacGillivray's in the backyard was present yesterday afternoon and this morning, during a very busy afternoon back there. 
 
Also of note was what will be a new yard bird if it'll ever sit still long enough for positive ID, but a very probable Wilson's Warbler.
 
Other regulars, many with fresh youngsters along, include:
 
BC Chickadees (including one with a black eyeline, but otherwise mostly white head)
1 Mtn Chickadee
1 Blue Jay
Red-breasted Nuthatches
Mourning Doves
1 Chipping Sparrow
EC Doves
1 Empidonax Flycatcher
2 already-winter plumaged Am. Goldfinches
House Finches/ House Sparrows
Barn Swallows
 
A surprising lack of raptor activity.  I typically get a Cooper's or Sharpie drive-by with this much feeder activity.  Though one suddenly quiet half-hour this morning may suggest that there was one in the neighborhood.
