I'm sure this is the same bird. The pond is what I call Dunkirk Pond (Himalaya changes to Dunkirk St just south of 53rd) and is a main feature of the First Creek at Green Valley Ranch Trail. This is the same spot that has had the Blackburnian Warbler, Blue-winged Warbler, several other

I took a quick walk this morning along the First Creek Trail at Green Valley Ranch. In a twist from recent visits, I had no warblers at all, but plenty of sparrows. Among dozens of White-crowned Sparrows was a lone White-throated seen on the west side of the Dunkirk. It was foraging in some

Starting a little before sunrise and birding for approximately three hours, I picked up 50 species along the newest and eastern-most portion of the First Creek Trail system. *The Dunkirk Pond area* (previous spot for the Yellow-crowned Night Heron and Blackburnian Warbler) was reasonably
