Warblers in Canon City, Fremont County 17 Dec 2023

[Brandon]

I helped count birds for the Penrose Christmas Bird Count today, and my area produced a BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLER (Pueblo area's first winter sighting), and a male BLACK-THROATED BLUE WARBLER.  Both were from the Sells to Raynolds portion of the Canon City Riverwalk, Fremont County.  There's certainly been quite a few December warbler this year, and some are being found on Christmas Bird Counts, which is exciting.

Since I missed seeing the Yellow-billed Loon yesterday at Pueblo Reservoir, I'll try tomorrow.  Sounds like it and the Pomarine Jaeger were seen by lots of people at Pueblo Reservoir, Pueblo County, today.
