Re: [cobirds] Re: Northern Parula in December

Gregg and others,

I would love to hear whether the Parula and Pine Warbler stuck around after the cold frontal passage last night.  I doubt the temperatures would be the problem.  The snow could cause food gathering issues.  The winds are appropriate for migration southward, but I don't know whether the "need" to migrate is still there.  Hormonally, There must be a point in every bird that they don't feel like they need to migrate anymore.  These birds will be interesting case studies from both the perspective of Dave Leatherman and from Bryan "Weatherman".  Bad joke... moving on.

Keep us informed.

Thanks,

Bryan

There are no previous December eBird records of Northern Parula in the Denver/Fort Collins area until today December 1st, 2020. The Chatfield bird was seen and photographed today. The Springs, Pueblo, Pitkin Cnty and Garfield Cnty have had December records. It will get down to around 20 degrees tonight with chance of snow. Wonder if it will be here tomorrow.
