Hermit and Magnolia Warblers continue, Boulder Creek (Boulder County)

[Richard Trinkner]

The Hermit continues to forage through bushes and trees at the 17th-street bridge over Boulder Creek, just north and downhill from CU's Mackey Auditorium.

A few hundred yards further east along the creek, the male Magnolia also continues. The Magnolia was immediately above the creek in the area we used to call "Warbler Woods", below the CU rec center and across the creek from the brick university family housing.

Decent photos of the Hermit and Magnolia: https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S56721331.  The Hermit no doubt is the most photographed bird in Boulder today.  Many passersby were caught up in the excitement and took photos with their phones and pocket cameras.
