[cobirds] Fountain Creek Regional Park, El Paso Co. warbler fest 5/18


Today's male Prothonotary Warbler first spotted by Aaron Shipe, is not yesterday's female Prothonotary Warbler from the same location, first found by Bill Maynard.  

Thanks to Steve Getty's cobirds post, I decided to make an afternoon trip to Fountain Creek Regional Park.  It was great fun to see male Black-throated Blue, male Prothonotary, male Blackpoll, female Black-and-white Warblers all in the same small area, south of mile marker 18, near the Gazebo (watch out for two large bull snakes in the area).  Also, present was a singing Northern Waterthrush, that I only heard.  The male Black-throated Blue was singing off and on.


Good birding,
