There is a singing Northern Parula in North Boulder just east of the intersection of 16th and Hawthorn Ave, where the Farmer's Ditch crosses under Hawthorn Ave. There's a paved bike path that leads from there to the south, toward the Community Gardens. It's been singing from there for two days, but only this morning did I finally get a look at the bird. I've now confirmed the song against a Northern Parula mp3 track. It's been singing up and down the section of Farmer's Ditch that runs along the western side of the Community Gardens. Yesterday it was out of view to the north of Hawthorn Ave. Today, it was high in a locust tree, about 20 yards south of Hawthorn Ave along the paved bike path that leads to the Community Garden.
It's weird song carries for a long ways. I've been hearing it in my backyard for two days now, and have failed to find it each time I ventured in search of it, until just now. It's been driving me crazy. In any case, if you want a Northern Parula on your Boulder list, this one seems pretty accommodating at the moment. You might not see it, but you'll very likely to hear it.
