[cobirds] Fountain Creek Regional Park, El Paso County

We did bit of birding  at Fountain Creek today. There was good activity from the regular summer residents with several juveniles seen.
There were 2 Townsend's Warblers and 4-5 Virginia's Warblers, by the small stream across the gazebo near the north parking lot.
There was a Sharp-shinned Hawk  near the Visitors Center, and a Cooper's Hawk near the north parking lot; at first it was chasing a small flock of songbirds and a little while later we saw it being chased by a single songbird.
A Mississippi Kite made a fly-over above Rice pond.
The Green Herons (3) were still there and we saw a single Black-crowned Night-Heron
A hiker told us that he had seen a Ferruginous Hawk but we did not see it.
Good birding,
Cecile Lee
Elbert, CO
