Today, Art Hudak, David Starbuck and I went to Chico Basin trying to catch the tail end of migration. After seeing a beautiful Magnolia Warbler at the headquarters(Pueblo) we decided to check out Rose Pond. The first bird of interest was a beautiful, but very skittish Blue-headed Vireo. We then decided to walk the north side of the pond. After walking the marshy, wet , and slow area we were rewarded with a gorgeous CAPE MAY WARBLER. This bird was in a tall cottonwood on the far north side.
We finished the day at Mineral Palace Park. While looking for the Yellow-throated Warbler, we were given the finger and cussed at unprovoked several times by a local cruiser. I guess he was trying to give us a bird to look at!! Not long after we were able to locate not one but two Yellow-throated Warblers! What a great late May day of birding. Photos (the Party Train way) of these great rarities can be found below:
