[cobirds] Chestnut-sided Warbler, Boulder Co.

Thanks to Christian Nunes, whom I saw at Walden, I easily heard and saw the male Chestnut-sided Warbler along Goose Creek!!!  It was singing in a large cottonwood tree along Goose Creek just east of the LASP Space Sciences Building accessed off Discovery Drive.  I heard the warbler as soon as I got out of my car.  Its song is loud and quite similar to what I call the "second song" of the Yellow Warbler.  He was singing several times a minute, moving from low in the tree to about 1/2 way up the tree.  Also present were one Myrtle Warbler and dozens of Chipping Sparrows.
