I continue to find more rare warblers on my coffee walks in winter than eastern Colorado in spring this year. The bird is in a pine at 777 28th street. Right in front of the sign for that office building. Look for two picnic tables at the intersection of 29th and 28th frontage road.

Near the best western for reference. Parking available on the street (rarer than the bird here).

Still present in Pine tree closest to building between the picnic tables at approx 12:45.  Returned to this tree several times while I was there.  Wasn't seen by a couple other birders in the half hour before I left, which coincided with some clouds rolling in.  Was last seen flying towards Baseline, may be worth checking Base-Mar where the Varied Thrush and Black Throated Blue were seen last month.

Well, I just returned from looking for the Warbler, without any luck.  I searched the trees around that building, and another birder thought that she was hearing a warbler "chip", but we didn't see it.  What we DID see in one of those trees was a Cooper's Hawk eating a bird.  We checked the ground under the tree after it left, there were some small grey feathers with a couple that had some yellow bits on them.  Not conclusive as to what it was, but SOMEBODY got eaten for breakfast. 

with regrets -
