I found (or refound) a Chestnut-sided Warbler this morning near the Poudre River Bike Trail at about 10:45am. The RBA says SIMONDS reported one yesterday on the Poudre trail, without location details, but the trail is very far from where WALTERS reported one last week. The one I saw today was in the "triangle" between the bike trail and the river, north-northwest of the Nix Farm buildings, very near the river, just down river and down hill from the bluff and 'waterfall'.
I confess that I didn't note whether it was a male or female, which would have helped (perhaps) with figuring out if there is more than one of these around. Didn't really study how extensive the chestnut sides were. Oops. For what it's worth, I remember the crown being very bright yellow and the black stripes on the face being distinct, perhaps suggesting a male.
