[cobirds] Boulder Bobolink Bonanza

Hi Cobirds,

Chris Petrizzo and I birded a few places around Boulder today, with one highlight being the Cherryvale Trailhead area.  In the nearby grassy fields, especially between there and Hwy 36, we saw at least 14 Bobolinks.  At one point I had five in one binocular view.  Chris also saw a couple of Dickcissels.  Other fun birds there included singing Savannah Sparrows, singing and winnowing Wilson's Snipe, and a flyover Wilson's Phalarope.

Note that if you walk along Cherryvale Rd itself, there are some spots with a LOT of poison ivy.
