Yellow-throated Vireo at Grandview Cem, FtCollins (Weld)

[DAVID A LEATHERMAN]

A yellow-throated vireo has been at Grandview Cemetery at west terminus of Mountain Avenue all morning. It has been seen of late in the northeast corner of the section west of the ditch. Go in entrance, go across the ditch, turn right. Look in elms and spruce along the ditch.

Thanks to Dave's tip I managed to get a couple of shots of the Yellow-throated Vireo this morning.  When I arrived, I saw Dave as he was leaving, he pointed out the elms on the West side that he saw it in. I searched there for awhile until the warbler neck became too much to bear. Because Dave saw it in the elms I thought I would search  other elms for it. About the time I was ready to give up, I found it where sections B, D and L all meet. (There is a section map of the cemetery engraved in stone at the office near the ditch by the entrance). My advice for any seeking this bird is to search the elm trees in the Northwest  corner of the cemetery.
