[cobirds] Prospect Ponds/ELC, Fort Collins (Larimer) on 5/17

I birded the Poudre River today from the Sharp Point business park parking lot south thru Prospect Ponds Natural Area to the parking lot at the Northern Colorado Environmental Center (ELC) late this afternoon.

Not a lot of birds, but some nice individuals.

Chestnut-sided Warbler (apparently an adult female) - along the northeast corner of the southernmost pond along Sharp Point in low willows

American Redstart (1 adult male) - thicket just north of the northwest corner of the ELC parking lot (i.e., just north of the big ELC sign or due east of the outhouse building)

Wilson's Warbler (FOY for me) - male, same location as the American Redstart

Swainson's Warbler - same location as the redstart and Wilson's

Blue Grosbeak (2 males) - due north of the "Fisherman's Parking Lot" nw of the Water Treatment Plant where the n-s trail meets the river  (north of the swinging bench)
