MacGillivray's Warbler-- Pueblo West, Pueblo Co. 4/30

[Brandon]

Mid-day today, there was a male MacGillivray's Warbler (my first of the spring) at Cattail Crossing Pond, in Pueblo West.  Margie Joy came by, and also saw it.  Other things of note:  two Canvasbacks continue, an Orange-crowned Warbler, a Wilson's Warbler, one Yellow-rumped Warbler, a flock of 15 or so White-throated Swifts (new bird for the Cattail Crossing bird list), and four species of swallows (Barn, Tree, Violet-green, and Northern Rough-winged).  This pond is an easy place to see Great-tailed Grackles and Yellow-headed Blackbirds too.  This turned out to be a very productive trip mid-day trip to this location.
