Black-throated Gray Warbler, Dixon Reservoir, Larimer County

[Brad Biggerstaff]

This breezy morning there was a Black-throated Gray Warbler at Dixon Reservoir/Pine Ridge Natural Area in west Fort Collins.  I reported such critter on the 17th at this location, but there were several consecutive days last week that this species was not seen/heard, so I think this is likely a different individual; but I don't know that for certain and photos today were too poor to try to distinguish them.  

Also present were several Yellow-rumped Warblers:  both Audubon's and Myrtle were there, along with an intergrade individual with Myrtle-like white throat along the edge but with yellow clearly in the middle of the throat.  A couple of Orange-crowned Warblers rounded out that group.  I also saw the first-of-the-year Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, along with FOY Broad-tailed Hummingbirds.

Well, I said "likely" but should have said "possibly" I expect.
