Thanks for the update on “your” Yellow-throated Warbler – very interesting! The Auraria bird seems to have been there since February 6th based on eBird records, and considering your previous post was from late-January, figured there was a very good chance it was the same bird – obviously not the case. So two of these rare guys in central Denver at the same time is even that much more remarkable. Thanks again for your report.
Cheers,
Doug

I have had a male Yellow-Throated Warbler at my peanut feeder all weekend. I hadn’t seen him for 3 weeks then he came back Friday and has been here every day since.

As I hadn’t seen a post out here on COBirds about the YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER that has been down on the Auraria Campus in downtown Denver (Denver Co.) for the past couple of weeks, thought I would drop a note if you don’t happen to troll eBird for your rare bird information. We were in the area today (Sat., 21 Feb.’26) so decided to try and did eventually find the bird. Started looking in the pines around the parking lots along Speer Blvd near Kalamath/Champa where it has been found most regularly, but no luck. Then thought we should check the pristine wilderness of the median “park” wedged between Speer, Colfax, and Kalamath which has a small stand of conifers. Just a tad noisy, but as luck would have it, the Yellow-throated chipped a couple of times letting us know our decision to brave the traffic was about to pay off. If you do try for this guy, plan on checking the larger area if the main spots don’t produce as I would think it should stick around until migration. The YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERs it has apparently been hanging out with weren’t that active today, but did see a few.
Off to bed now as puck drop is pretty early tomorrow. Good luck to Team USA and also to you if you try for the warbler.
