[cobirds] warblers at Barr Lake (Adams Co.), Aug 20

This evening in the bird-banding area at Barr Lake, there were at least 7 warbler species:  Nashville Warblers (3), Virginia's Warblers (2), Northern Waterthrush, American Redstarts (2), Wilson's Warblers (2), Common Yellowthroats, and Yellow Warblers.  The banding area is accessed from the trail about a quarter mile northeast of the visitor's center.  Walking in that area isn't easy, and the mosquitoes went from bad to unbearable as the evening progressed.

Other highlights included a large group of (approximately 80) Snowy Egrets on the opposite side of the lake, and a spectacular sunset.
