[cobirds] Arapahoe County Black Phoebe

Arapahoe Co-birders,

 . . . and maybe it goes beyond this.

I see reports of the Black Phoebe couple with descriptions that refer to the “east side of the bridge” or the “north side of the bridge” — those seem mutually exclusive. And I understand, given how the bridge crossed over the S. Platte.

I’m wondering if there’s another way to refer to that area (I only ask because I was there looking for the birds today, and may have been on the “wrong” side of the bridge . . . depending on how it was described)?  I certainly didn’t see any nest-building

What about “upstream” or “downstream” of the bridge, or something similar. And I’m unclear — does Arapahoe county stop at the bridge?  In which case, the description might the “Douglas County” side of the bridge, etc.  I know that the county lines in that area are confusing (e.g., the S. Platte Reservoir). 

Maybe I’m just having a pipe dream . . ..

Thanks!
