Canada Warbler

[DuWayne Worthington]

I hear rumors of a canada warbler around the chatfield banding station.  Anyone have any further details?

That’s correct.  I saw a post on the CFO Facebook page Saturday.  My wife and I, along with lots of others, tried Sunday and Monday to find it.  Monday, while we were there, a few people got on it right around noon, very briefly (not us, unfortunately - it was also seen later Sunday).  It’s extremely skulky and seems to pop up from the undergrowth very briefly.  It’s also not calling, although one birder did, apparently, hear it cheeping faintly.

Most people have seen it in the tangled undergrowth between the banding station and the trail about 50 yards east of it that parallels the Platte River, generally closer to the trail.

Hi DuWayne,

This is the main location he has been seen (39.4941774, -105.0867535). A bunch of us saw him yesterday at around 1:30ish (https://ebird.org/checklist/S89371284), but had to wait a long time for him to pop up. He was then fairly active for a couple minutes, but only showing himself for very brief periods.

Good luck.
