While looking along the Main reservoir trail, I did hear a song that fit what I had heard on my Ibird app for a golden winged warbler. I looked up, saw black-and-white on the face, some white underneath the chin and a heavy golden bar on the wing. There was no yellow in the tail.
I saw the bird from the side and didn't see a gold cap. I see white under the chin of the female golden winged warbler and also think I could have been seeing the heavy white stripe lower on the face causing me to think I saw a white under the chin. (it all happened so fast, Officer!)
So, I didn't post because of my concerns about my identification, but because I heard the bird's song matching my Ibird recording first and looked to see it, I feel fairly confident about my ID. (Nope, I didn't think it was a yellow rumped).
The bird few quickly after I spotted it and did not reappear for anyone else to confirm my suspicions.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it, Deb Carstensen, Littleton, Arapahoe County.
