[cobirds] Late post Cherry Creek State Park Fall Count, Caspian Tern, Sabine's Gulls, Nashville Warbler

Thanks to all who attended the fall count at Cherry Creek SP (Arapahoe County) today.  No exotic jaegers this year, but in the morning we had a Caspian Tern in the southeast corner, who was seen at the end of the day fishing in the marina area.  Sabine’s gulls (three juveniles) were in the middle of the reservoir (aren’t they always J), and a Nashville warbler in the trees by the covered picnic area at the swim beach/Smoky Hill picnic area.  One young birder had also had a chance to actually see his first Sora!

Next year, plan for the count to last all day.  There are more goodies at Cherry Creek than you can feast your eyes on in just a morning!
