Enjoying a nice visit to Colorado, I took a walk this afternoon at Lake Estes in Estes Park, Larimer Counter, from the Estes Park Visitor Center through the Matthews-Reeser Bird Sanctuary and along the south shore of the Lake. I found 31 species including lots of Yellow-rumped and Wilson's Warblers, Orange-crowned Warbler, Barn, Violet-green, and Tree Swallows, two Bald Eagles, an Osprey, and two dark male Lesser Goldfinch. As I headed back to my car I spotted a lovely female Nashville Warbler low in the large cottonwood just west of the bird sanctuary -- gray head, neck, and sides of face with complete white eye-ring and sharp bill (essentially a gray hood except for the throat); back and wings olive green; yellow on the throat extending through the breast; yellow under the tail; and white around the legs separating the yellow of the breast from the yellow of the tail.
