All,

As of 2:30pm the Bay-breasted Warbler remains in the same tree. Turn
north on Center Green Drive, and it's in the first pine tree between the
first two buildings on the left.

I think it's picking insects from the pine needles and branches. I have
not seen it fly or hover-glean for insects. I have never seen it in the
pine tree right next to it, so I think that tree doesn't have the same
insects.

Cheers, Peter Gent.
Boulder.

Or maybe fewer of them. When I arrived mid-morning, Mark Chavez pointed it out to me in the near tree. Within 15 minutes it flew to the far pine tree. It gleaned for 15 minutes, then sat still--really still--for 15 minutes, while Mark clicked 500 photos and many other people strained to see a yellowish statue with wingbars. And I left. 

So if you don't see it in the near tree tomorrow, don't give up before searching just as hard in the other one. It might be the bird's equivalent of Camp David.
