Northern Parula, Cub Lake Trail, Rocky Mtn. Nat. Park, Larimer Co. 8/31

[Jim Nelson]

We are continuing a nice visit to Colorado. As we started our hike on the Cub Lake Trail in Rocky Mountain National Park this fine Friday morning, we had great views of a very cooperative, fist-fall female Northern Parula in the willows and alders at the beginning of the trail between the parking lot and the stream. We did not relocate it when we returned from our walk.

This was a very nice surprise since I had a singing male Northern Parula in Estes Park on our spring visit this year.
