Palm Warbler - Belmar Park - Jeffco

[mike]

Hi All,

Not near as birdy this morning as yesterday in Belmar Historic Park in
Lakewood. Micheal Kiessig, Rob Raker, and I started out finding our
first small mixed flock of birds along the Horse Trail near the
footbridge. The flock consisted of Yellow-rumped Warblers (both
Audubon's and Myrtle's), an Orange Crowned Warbler and some adult and
juvenile White-crowned Sparrows. Later on we saw one Palm Warbler in
a mixed flock of birds in the pines on the west side of the small
lake. Later in the morning when it seemed like there were more
birders than birds, everyone had good looks at the Palm Warbler on the
east side of the small lake. There were not near as many Yellow-
rumped Warblers as yesterday, and we did not see either the Blackpoll
or Black-throated Blue Warblers today.

On the afternoon shift at Belmar I had (2) Palm Warblers on the east side of the small lake, and fewer than 20 Yellow-rumped, nothing else of note.
