Canada Warbler update

[Duane Nelson]

Birders,

The Canada Warbler I found early this morning was shockingly cooperative
for the four people that saw it later in the day.

Norma Verhoeff and her friend Mary Ellen stopped by on their way to
South Fork at 10:30 this morning. They got it within two minutes of
arriving.

Janeal Thompson made the trip from Lamar, and saw the bird within one
minute of arriving. As usual, she got better pictures than I could dream
of taking.

Finally, Dan Stringer, from the Denver area, contacted me around 1 p.m.
I stuck around, and showed him the bird within one minute of his
arrival. He was here on a spur of the moment birding trip, and happened
to be at Lake Hasty when he got my message.

The clouds lifted by mid afternoon here, and I think that will change
the odds of the Canada Warbler sticking around. If I see the bird
tomorrow morning, I will post an update to cobirds. If not, I am
grateful that I was able to share this beauty with so many people.
