Yellow-throated Vireo, Larimer County

[Brad Biggerstaff]

This afternoon between 1:00 and 1:30 I saw and photographed (poor quality, but sufficient to confirm)

a Yellow-throated Vireo along the Poudre River Trail near the parking lot at the southern end of

Riverbend Ponds Natural Area in Fort Collins.  I saw the bird briefly then took a couple of quick

photos from a fair distance, and then it flew off and I could not locate it again, but I was only there about 20 minutes

total; and I never heard it.   The photos are blurry, but show the yellow and white body, the brighter yellow around the eye,

the white wing bars, and the larger bill of a vireo.  The photos can be seen here:

There were also several Wilson's Warblers.
