[cobirds] Re: CAPE MAY WARBLER still at Grandview Cemetery (Larimer) update

The Cape May Warbler was still present as of 4 pm.  Great find Dave.  As Dave mentioned the psyllid hatch on the hackberry tree is astonishing and attracting many other bird species.

The CAPE MAY WARBLER  is still present in a spruce tree near the hackberries in the northeast corner of Section E.  Several people searched this morning and early afternoon for the Cape May Warbler WITHOUT SUCCESS, but I just got a report from Josh Bruening that Derek Hill just refound the bird (at 2:15pm).

The hackberries in the ne corner of Section E and the four or so along the northwest edge of the cemetery (in Section N west of the ditch bridge and due south of City Park Liquors) are full of emerging psyllids.  This is particularly so of the trees in Section E.  If you stand under them for more than 5 minutes, you will be decorated with dozens of adult psyllids landing on your clothes (a good opportunity to at least see what the things look like).  Since they are looking for bark flakes under which to overwinter, the flakier of you may want to stay back and view the trees from a distance.  Present today going after adult psyllids were many Yellow-rumps, several Ruby-crowned Kinglets, several chickadees of both species, a few somewhat late Townsend's Warblers, and a smattering of other species: White-breasted Nuthatch, Brown Creeper, Downy Woodpecker, Orange-crowned Warbler, etc.
