Another great location for Ovenbirds is Gateway Mesa Open Space in Castle Rock, Douglas County, on Hwy 86 on the east side of town heading towards Franktown. There is a new 1-mile trail loop built there last year called Legacy Trail that descends through the heavily forested north-facing slope below the mesa.

Subject: [SOCIAL NETWORK] [cobirds] Ovenbirds at Cheyenne Mountain State Park (El Paso County)
If Ovenbirds interest you, I counted around 20 of them singing this morning at Cheyenne Mountain State Park, particularly along the Cougar's Shadow trail but not exclusively there. It is possible I double-counted a few of them that I heard farther off - if I heard them 1-2 minutes apart I counted them but it is possible that a few could've been repeat individuals.
Some other birds I enjoyed hearing (and occasionally seeing some of them) were Hermit Thrushes, very exuberant Yellow-breasted Chat, so many Warbling Vireos, House Wrens, Spotted Towhees, Broad-tailed Hummingbirds and Black-headed Grosbeaks and several other species in smaller numbers as well.
