report of Cape May Warbler in Fort Collins (Larimer)

[DAVID A LEATHERMAN]

I received a second-hand report of a Cape May Warbler being seen and heard singing on the Oval at CSU, Fort Collins yesterday 16October.  I do not know the person who reported it but do know we had one at Grandview Cemetery last year for about a week centered on 8October.  If someone searches for the CSU Oval bird, the whole thing is essentially American Elms, which has been a "hot" tree for passerines on the eastern plains this autumn.  There are also spruce trees, another favorite of Cape Mays, in front of some of the buildings that ring the Oval, and they might be worth a check.

Hello All,

After finishing my last class of the day, I walked over to the Oval to see what I could find. I came up empty handed. There were essentially NO birds in the Oval itself at all. Surrounding it, the trees did have a few groups of chickadees and Blue Jays but not much else. I would still suggest to those interested in looking to search in the Oval as something could still hide fairly well in there with all the leaves on the trees. However, searching the surrounding area might at least turn up more birds and keep up ones hopes of finding a good bird. 

Good birding,

Sean Walters

No luck ... only three blocks from my office ... lots of students around and "homecoming construction" activity underway at Oval.

For anyone who wants to try for the bird, as Gary Lefko mentions, it is Homecoming Weekend at CSU.  Activities are scheduled through Saturday.

I had the previously reported White-throated Sparrow through Wednesday behind the Natural Resources building but I didn't see or hear the bird on Thursday.  I am not on campus today.
