MacGillivray's Warbler and other yard birds / Denver

[Dave Cameron]

Our second-ever MacGillivray's in the backyard was present yesterday afternoon and this morning, during a very busy afternoon back there. 

 

Also of note was what will be a new yard bird if it'll ever sit still long enough for positive ID, but a very probable Wilson's Warbler.

 

Other regulars, many with fresh youngsters along, include:

 

BC Chickadees (including one with a black eyeline, but otherwise mostly white head)

1 Mtn Chickadee

1 Blue Jay

Red-breasted Nuthatches

Mourning Doves

1 Chipping Sparrow

EC Doves

1 Empidonax Flycatcher

2 already-winter plumaged Am. Goldfinches

House Finches/ House Sparrows

Barn Swallows

 

A surprising lack of raptor activity.  I typically get a Cooper's or Sharpie drive-by with this much feeder activity.  Though one suddenly quiet half-hour this morning may suggest that there was one in the neighborhood.
