El Paso County: Blackburnian Warbler

[Aaron Driscoll]

Thanks to everyone who posted about this awesome bird!

Found it around 5pm in the sw corner of the parking lot.

Sorry the pictures are not better.  The bird was up about 40 feet, and the sun angle

was horrible. But we got it.

Also viewing this bird with me were Suke and Cici Lee, Bill Evans (sorry Bill, didn't get the name of the lady with you!), and another gentleman who just moved here from California (can't remember his name either.) 

Also saw a Wilson's Warbler, Western Tanager, a bunch of Bushtits, Blue Jays, Spotted Towhees, and a Black-capped Chickadee.
