Re. Swainson's thrushes at Cherry Creek SP:
I have seen them regularly in the fall. Even a gray-cheeked about 8 years
ago. Thrushes are best seen by walking north from the main road where the
woods are surrounding Cherry Creek itself. The path used to be used by
horses, but wooden posts block it now. Almost no people seem to go there
(and there are coyotes inside that area).

There were 25+ Townsend's Warblers and about that many Yellow-rumped, half or so as many Wilson's and 1 Orange-crowned Warbler. Last week I saw several Red-breasted Nuthatches a Mountain Chickadee and 2 Nashville Warblers in these trees. The lake held gulls and grebes and 6 Red-necked Phalaropes. Along the south shore I saw a Swainson's Thrush (unusual for Cherry Creek) and 2 cooperative Sabine's Gulls. I met up with Loch at Chatfield and we found the Snowy Plover on the Plum Creek Delta along with a Semipalmated Plover and a Pectoral Sandpiper. Landbirds at Chatfield were few and far between but there was a male Red-naped Sapsucker near the cove at the SE shore. Pics of some of these birds can be viewed from the links below.
