The Hepatic Tanagers are still being seen. The google map directions, http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=p&z=13&q=38.586828,-104.948129&ll=38.586828,-104.948129 , take you to the middle of an RV park, and yes, that's where they're found. If you park in front of the office/restaurant and walk about 50' to the left of the building (left as you're looking at it) you'll be in their prime spot. The male is aggressively defending its territory from all other Hepatic Tanagers -- which means it's fighting with every image of itself in car mirrors and reflective RV windows! Quite fun to watch.
-- The owners of the RV Park say that birders are welcome, but wanted me to remind everyone that there is a 5 MPH speed limit in the park and to please carefully observe it. There are many children and pets around. So please give birders a good reputation while you're enjoying the antics of the tanagers.
