[cobirds] Re: Denver has two new eBird hotspots - Coors Field and Sports Authority Field at Mile High (restricted access)

Hey, everybody. Yesterday I put some work into building up the list for this eBird hotspot. The things I do for you people. Here's a summary of the efforts to date of David Dowell, Ira Sanders, Jason Forbes, Alec Hopping, and Yours Truly:

Oddly, all records for this site occur before mid-August in the year--as if there's never any reason to be at the site after the MLB season has reached the three-quarters mark?

Here is yesterday's checklist:

Thanks to Bill Kaempfer's most excellent suggestion, and David Dowell's 5th inning bird sightings, the city and county of Denver now has two brand new
eBIRD hotspots:

Coors Field (restricted access )
and Sports Authority Field at Mile High (restricted access)

Who among us has not overcome the "restricted access" by purchasing a ticket, proceeding through the guarded 
gates, only to find that counting birds trumps the game?

I myself fondly recall the Black-Crowned Night-Heron fly-overs at Coors Field, during an 8-0 Dodgers shut-out.

I declined to add the Pepsi Center but would reconsider if reports come in of the Zamboni machine being driven by a penguin during an Avalanche game.
