Hooded Warbler - Saguache

[jand...@comcast.net]

Bayard and I had a stunning male Hooded Warbler on Spanish Creek in Crestone this morning. He paused long enough for me to get adequate photos. 8^th record for the valley (per John Rawinski) and only the 2^nd I know of for Saguache – although there may be more Hooded Warblers than birders currently in Saguache so we will never really know for sure. To date, a Western Palm Warbler at Russell Lakes May 8 has been the only other warbler pulse-quickener.  

Stay well,

Bayard and John Cobb
