The 7 Wilson's Warblers were a predictable sign Sunday of fall migration, but the FOS Western Kingbird in a tree west of the Denver Museum of Nature + Science was a rare, only-in-fall visitor, too.
Sunday's big surprise, however, was a bird not recorded in the park in more than SEVENTY years:
A MacGillivray's Warbler, skulking through small junipers and fallen limbs beneath them, just across the park road from the southeastern most tennis court on the west side of the park.
So, who recorded City Park's last MacGillivray's on May 11, 1950?
Who else but young Hugh Kingery, of course . . . .
Good (migration) birding,
Patrick O'Driscoll
