[cobirds] Mockingbird in CCSP - update

Slight emendation:

eBird doesn't show NOMO having been seen inside the park in August (or September) over the last 10 years. There are some scattered reports in the data base since 1900 in different months (or more than 10 years ago for September), but still never for August.

Striving for accuracy!

Friends,

I saw, what I'm fairly sure was, a Northern Mockingbird late this morning in at the prairie-dog town on the west side of Peoria — the Vista Trail (across from the Cottonwood Creek wetlands). While my eBird checklist wouldn't indicate it, it was within Cherry Creek State Park.

eBird shows NOMO as "infrequent" in the area, and the bar chart for Arapahoe County shows that. But I don't see any records for Cherry Creek State Park!

Of course, there have been a couple of other NOMO sightings in the county in the last couple of days!

Surprising!
