Northern Parula still present, Fort Collins (Larimer)

[DAVID A LEATHERMAN]

Georgia Doyle called at 7:30am today to report the Northern Parula is still present off and on in the white oak  in front of 813 W. Oak Street, Fort Collins.  This area is roughly a mile west of downtown.  When I observed the bird it was mostly in the oak eating aphids but it also left this tree on occasion and spent time in neighborhood berry bushes, a water bath, a Siberian elm, other oaks, etc. 

Folks who live in the area know about this bird and the fact birders might be coming around to look for it.  Please respect their properties and parking by staying on the sidewalk and street, not blocking driveways, etc.  Thank you.

So how many warbler species have been seen in CO this November?  By my count there have been two Northern Parulas, Bay-breasted, Black-throated Green, Yellow-rumped, Wilson's, Common Yellowthroat, Tennessee, and Blackpoll.  Any others?  Remarkable.  Besides Yellow-rumped, perhaps the one species somewhat expected would be Pine and it's not on this list (yet).
