[cobirds] Grandview Cemetery, Fort Collins (Larimer) - No Cape May, possible Black-throated Blue

I spent almost all morning at Grandview Cemetery in Fort Collins today. The real highlight was getting a cemetery tour, birding tips, and entomology lesson from Dave Leatherman. Thanks Dave!!! 

Dave and I and Brad Biggerstaff found a group of Yellow-rumped Warblers working the hackberry trees toward the northwest corner of the cemetery, next to the ditch along La Porte Ave. Among the Yellow-rumped Warblers were two (?) Townsend's Warblers and a couple of Ruby-crowned Kinglets. 

PRIOR TO DAVE AND BRAD's ARRIVAL, I believe I saw an adult female Black-throated Blue Warbler among the same trees. I think I saw a drab bird with a white rectangle on the lower edge of the wing as seen in profile. It was a very brief look, I'm not certain of the ID, but I hope others who visit Grandview will be on the lookout for this bird.
