Re: [cobirds] Northern Cardinal Redux - High Line Canal Trail - Arapahoe County

At 4 PM today the male Northern Cardinal was singing very intermittently

at the aforementioned  site. It was loyal to the east side of the canal in a homeowner's private backyard trees

and in shrubs near the feeder there, but was not seen on the feeder. 

Many thanks to Kate Frost for finding and reporting this great bird and to John

Breitsch for updates and photos.

This is just a re-post of my earlier one announcing that the Northern Cardinal spotted yesterday by Kate Frost was still around this morning.  I sent my previous post via my phone.  Since I don't have the texting skills of a fourth grader, it came out sounding a bit like jibberish.  The bird was in the area just south of E Quincy Ave, along the High Line Canal trail.  Just south of there is a bridge crossing the dry canal on the east.  The cardinal was hanging out just north of the bridge.  I walked around there for ten or fifteen minutes going back and forth without spotting it.  Then it sang.  That made finding it easy.  I parked at the lot at the end of Dahlia St.  From there, just cross the bridge and head to the right.

I was going to just stop at Cherry Creek on my way home, but I ended up meeting an east coast birder there.  I hijacked her and took her to Mt Falcon where we found half a dozen life birds for her.  Even with the wind, it was a beautiful day birding.
