Holy Rare Bird!

A local birder discovered this Black-throated Gray Warbler yesterday and despite the few inches of snow
we had overnight, it was re-found today. Its normal range is west of the Rockies! So happy I got to see
this beautiful warbler—a lifer!

Additionally, I found a man's wedding band in the mud as we walked the trails along the creek. I looked
on Craigslist and saw someone had posted losing a ring with the similar description. They verified the
inscription and picked it up tonight. :-)

A double whammy Carl, well done on both counts. This little warbler is cool, love his yelow eyebrows :o)
