[cobirds] Prairie Warbler - Cherry Crk State Park Arapahoe County

Cobirders,

This morning there was a female Prairie Warbler at the south end of Cherry
Creek State Park which was observed by me, Gene Rutherford and Phil
Gerkins.  The directions to the spot are as follows: take Jordon Road north
from Arapahoe and take a right turn on W Caley, just after the turn there is
a concrete bike path on the north side of the road heading into the park,
proceed a couple hundred yards or so north to where there is an intersection
and another path to the right.  Visible from there on the path to the right
is a large steel and wood footbridge that crosses the creek.  The warbler
was seen from the bridge.  However, crossing back an hour or so later it was
not seen again from the bridge.  I did not post sooner due to lack of power
to my cellphone and, adding insult to injury, once I did get the post sent
it was posted to an old obsolete Cobirds email address.  (Note: plugging in
the cellphone at night for charging only works if the other end is fully
plugged into the wall as well!)  Also seen and heard singing from this spot
was an Olive-sided Flycatcher.

Proceeding on the same path further into the park will yield many
Yellow-breasted Chats, some Blue Grosbeaks, and a combination of Lazuli
Bunting, Indigo Bunting and highbreds of those two buntings.

Good Birding,
Steve Stachowiak
