[cobirds] White-eyed Vireo - deKoevend Park (Arapahoe)

This morning, the White-eyed Vireo at deKoevend Park in Centennial (Arapahoe) was singing from a row of trees between the High Line Canal Trail and some playing fields at the park. This is in the same general area where the bird has been seen and heard since May 18; however, it's a bit deeper into the park then usual. The area is surrounded on three sides (but not the trail side) with plastic, construction fencing. If the bird stays in these trees, you may have more luck spotting the bird from the playing fields than from the trail.

On my first pass by the vireo's area, I missed the bird. It was only on my return trip that I heard it. So if you go looking for the bird, give it some time to make its presence known.

I didn't see much else at the park, except a pewee-like flycatcher flycatching from a chain-link fence, which seemed an unusual way to flycatch for a pewee-like flycatcher. 

Yesterday, in my yard across University from deKoevend, I had two new yard birds: a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher stopped by while I was doing yard work and a Wilson's Warbler, the first I've seen in the area since late-April, spent the day. Two Turkey Vultures, the first I've seen from my yard since early-April, drifted overhead around 4:30 PM.
