Brandon, We saw the GOLDEN-CROWNED WARBLER at about 9:30 a.m. this
morning, in the usual chokecherry patch west of County Road 9 and North of
the House. Very fleeting views, but nonetheless viewed. We stayed 11:45
without any further views of the bird.

Hi Elena: the feeders are still there (as of yesterday) - one to the "left"
behind the small building, and a platform feeder just above the small pond
over on the "right". Adding seeds by the volunteers officially ends at
Memorial Day, so finding seed in the feeders will probably be spotty until
I would like to make the trip Yes!Were you thinking a morning run?

I suppose this is the same bird that was here last year for about a week in
early June. I hear it singing at the top of the hill near us, which is on Ouray
Dr at the level of #8424 (lion statue; noisy dogs). It did not remain there for
long, or breed successfully, as far as I could tell, and I w
Good morning CoBirders,
CU East was very slow this morning as migrant action gives way to
nesting activity.
The one highlight was a male Rose-breasted Grosbeak singing from a
cottonwood just north of the "waterthrush" bridge between the two ponds.
Good birding,

Mark Holmgren and I had a Rose Breasted Grosbeak singing away on Monday morning
on the Koehler Reservoir trail area, at the end of Dartmouth Street in Boulder.
We didn’t report it then because it didn’t come up as a box on eBird. We also
had Black Headed Grosbeaks singing, a nice duet!

Just to remind everybody: female orioles sing frequently. So do female
cardinals and grosbeaks. In fact, females sing at least rarely in most
passerine species. So beware of assuming that a bird is a male just because
it's singing!

After some good exchanges with other CObirders off list, I feel more
confident in calling this bird a *Blue-Winged Warbler.* Mark Miller
pointed out that a Blue-Winged Warbler loitered in a Jeffco park for
several weeks in 2015, and this led me to dig through the cobirds archive
to discover ne
No one has seen the Golden-crowned Warbler on Friday the 25th, from 715am
to 11:15am, few people still looking.

In June 2004 there was a Blue-winged Warbler in Gregory Canyon in Boulder
which did not sing a pure Blue-winged song.
Ted Floyd said that we could not count it as a Blue-wing since it did not
sing a pure song, but I believe that some birds can
learn other songs. Maybe Nathan could comment on th
Folks,
As Brandon states, several birders have tried for the warbler since 7 a.m. It
has not been seen. The chokecherry bushes are devoid of flowers, insects, and
birds. If anyone sees the warbler again please post an update to the listserv.
Thank you.

Joyce is correct; pure-looking Blue-winged and Golden-winged Warblers can
sing the song of the other species. Hybrids can sing the song of either
species, or (rarely) an intermediate song. Often, what people consider an
"abnormal" song from one of these species may be a perfectly normal
rendition o

My apologies to all. I wrote and sent that note at about 3:00 p.m. on
Thursday, May 24, after we had seen the bird on that day. I didn't realize
the post wouldn't show up until 7:00 a.m. on the next day (Friday the 25th)
I should have noted the date and time in my original message.

Hi all,
Earlier today there was a male Magnolia Warbler singing from a grove of
trees at the Crow Valley Campground. It was somewhat close to the main
parking lot, but across the dry canal about fifty yards to the north. We
first heard the bird vocalizing from the road. Other birds in the area
