Pueblo birds 9/25 (4 sp. of Vireos and 1 e. warbler)

[Brandon]

Searching through flocks of small land birds below Pueblo Reservoir dam, continues to pay off.  Today, I saw Blue-headed, Cassin's, Plumbeous, and yesterday's Bell's Vireo.  Also, I saw a Black-and-white Warbler, an Eastern Phoebe, and a "Black" Phoebe (with yellowish underparts, instead of white).  I mostly birded the south side of the river this morning, from Cottonwood Picnic Area parking lot downstream all the way to the Valco Ponds parking lot and back.  Yesterday, I saw a Townsend's Warbler in this area, though I didn't see one today.
