All,

I was walking in the greenspace near my home this morning, and came across a few good rarities.

The first was a Canada Warbler actively feeding in deciduous trees near a stream, where a convenient path crosses the way. This area is to the west of the Roxborough Skate Park.

The second was a Black-throated Gray Warbler actively feeding in a grove of trees behind my home. This is where a long sidewalk cuts east-west across the greenspace to join the two sidewalks together (this is north of the Canada Warbler area).

Good luck!

For those wanting a bit more information for the Canada Warbler:

The easiest way to get to this area would be to get on Rampart Range Rd and head south, as if you were heading to Roxborough State Park. There will be a parking lot on the West (left) side of the road in which you can get to with no access issues. If you see the Intermediate school on the East (right) side of the road, you have gone too far. Coords: 39.472435, -105.073662

The warbler was seen in the vicinity of these coords: 39.470713, -105.076160

This is a small east-west sidewalk, slightly north of the pond which is directly west of the skate park. It flew north of this area shortly after letting me admire it.
