Day 241: MacGillivray's Warbler
We found one spot in Rocky Mountain National Park that was great for warblers, and one of those we found was the MacGillivray's Warbler. According to Wikipedia, "these birds are sluggish and heavy warblers with short tails, preferring
to spend most of their time on, or near the ground, except when singing." I didn't get to observe one for too long, so I can't say if this is true. We did, however, find them fairly close to the ground.
