[cobirds] Cherry Creek trail - Douglas

Urling and I walked the Cherry Creek trail south of Parker this morning. We found 41 species -- a higher count than usual for us. Highlights:
    A swarm of 250 or so swallows feeding along the stream.
    With them 3 Chimney Swifts, cruising low and close.
    One Orchard Oriole - in other years we have found them breeding near here.
    Two singing male Bobolinks - maybe they will decide to breed here. That would make the sixth breeding site we know of along Cherry Creek in Douglas County.
