A New Record for Colorado
A New Record for Colorado
In “May or June, 1900”, Mr. B. G. Voigt (deceased) shot a Prothonotary Warbler (Protonotaria citrea) between Palmer Lake and Monument, Colorado. In “May 1902”, he shot two more specimens of the same species on the Arkansas River about 2 miles east of Pueblo, Colorado. I examined and identified these birds and while doing so was struck with the paleness of the bill, corresponding to the fall and winter plumage of this species. I thereupon sent one of the birds to Mr. Robert Ridgway, who writes that there is in the National Museum collections a specimen in this plumage which was taken as early as July 28, and who thinks that the dates, “May” and “June”, as given to me, are certainly erroneous. I cannot vouch for these dates, nor is it possible now to confirm the note which Mr. Voigt gave me. This establishes another new species for Colorado.
