Re: [cobirds] Virginia Rail at CCSP?

The classic locations are the marshes along the east side of Cherry Creek,

south of "12 mile Picnic area". The marshes extend far upstream, but Virginia

Rail can often be heard within a quarter mile of the parking lot at 12 mile.

Sora can be there too.

SORA has been reliable at marshy area just east of Pelican Point, 

which is an eBird hotspot.

That whole marshy and wooded area south of Pelican Point 

is the "Wetland Preserve" with its own hotspot, and several VIRA

have been heard there this summer.

Not hard to answer this kind of question by using eBird: 

Go to "Explore" 

Look under "Species Maps". Enter "Virginia Rail" or just "VIRA" and the name pops up.

search June and July, current year

location: "Arapahoe County"

and zoom in to Cherry Creek SP.

You'll see lots of Personal Locations and a few hotspots where VIRA have been this summer.

Good luck and post to eBird.

Thanks,

Good morning,

I've seen almost daily eBird reports of a VIRA at Cherry Creek State Park, but no particulars as to WHERE that bird (or those birds) are observed. The park is big, with numerous possible locations. Can someone who HAS observed it/them help narrow it down?

Thanks!
