You've helped me distinguish Audubon's from Myrtle Yellow Rumped Warblers.
How about this one? Taken around 6:30 a.m. in early  morning light, color 
is more green and yellow than image shows. Have spotted possibly a young 
yellow warbler (faint stripes on sides), but this one appears different.  
Very shy.

And if it's not a warbler, what is it?

BTW for the first time in my knowledge, a spotted Towhee has visited me 
several times over the past two weeks.  A bit out of its range at 7600 feet?

[cobirds] Mntn Bluebird Boulder County Gross Reservoir

[Pieter Strauss]

Spotted my first of the year Mountain Bluebird, hiking on north shore of 
Gross Reservoir, 7600 feet.  Not a record, last year I saw the first one at 
Walker Ranch Boulder County, flying over the road, on 2/29/2016.  But fun.
This male mountain bluebird was perching on a 5 foot bush, swooping to the 
ground for bugs.  Lots of bugs with the warm weather.
Very weak photo taken with iPhone, but best I could do.

Have attached 3 pix.  It looks like a rufous-crowned sparrow, but, for me 
at least, sparrows are very tricky.

Thanks to Chip Clouse for correcting my ID -- this little fellow is a 
Myrtle Warbler.  I have attached a pic from last year of an Audubon's 
Warbler, same tree.  Didn't think to compare the coloration of the throat 
-- white vs yellow.  I really appreciate corrections, please feel free!

Sorry to have made an incomplete post.

Walker Ranch is about 9 miles southwest of the city of Boulder, Boulder County, 
Colorado.

And I am Pieter Strauss, a newbie on this list.

[cobirds] Mountain Bluebird at Walker Ranch

[Pieter Strauss]

Spotted the first (for me) mountain bluebird of the year.  A brilliant male 
flew across Flagstaff Rd. just at the Walker Ranch turn.  Seems early for 
7500 feet. Perhaps in celebration of Leap Day.
