[cobirds] Northern Cardinal, Colorado Springs, El Paso county

We had excellent looks of the female Northern Cardinal this afternoon at Sonderman Park in Colorado Springs. We first saw it
fly west across the stream then heard its "chip" from the thick brush.
It flew near the path where it was easily seen in the trees and then east over the path towards the residential area.
 
To get to the area where the bird was seen from the parking lot, after crossing the foot bridge, take the last trail/path to the right and follow to and beyond  the cable road block to near the blue-gray house with the long wrap-around deck. Listen to the "chip" note. Several flickers and a pair of Hairy Woodpeckers are nearby.
