Could someone please enlighten me.

Check out https://cpw.state.co.us/placestogo/parks/CherryCreek/Documents/CherryCreekAreaBrochure.pdf .   Pelican Point is on the east side.  There will be a sign as you drive around the body of water.  Don't do what I do and mistake Pelican Bay for Pelican Point.  They are on opposite sides.

[cobirds] Re: Migration Weather: Sunday Forecast

I have to share how dramatic the change in bird numbers and number of species present was this morning at Standley Lake's Loon Lake (on the northeast end of the Standley Lake Open Space in Jeffco). Loon Lake has had species counts under 10 for many weeks. This morning I had 17, including a juvenile Cedar Waxwing! I bird this pond several times a week and have never seen one here before. Also, the sheer number of birds was about 8-10x higher than it's been in a long time and there was a tremendous amount of singing and activity. It was so fun!

I finally dragged myself away and moved on to the north shore, where I found a Tennessee Warbler - lifer! Not quite the dramatic increase in birds on the norht shore as at Loon Lake, but still a good variety. Location details and photos of the TEWA are in the eBird checklist 

Thank you so much for sharing these weather events with CO Birds.

[cobirds] Odd dipper behavior

Location: east side of the Park Range (Jackson County) at about 9,000'.

At a small cascade (Big Creek Falls),  Emily spotted a bird on an evergreen branch about 8 or 10' above the creek - the bird mostly hidden by needles and shadow.  We assumed it was one of numerous robins we'd seen.  As we pulled out binocs, we could see the bird doing familiar bobbing.  Turned out to be a dipper.   It then flew to a rock near the cascade - it was a juvenile (I've noted juvenile dippers seemingly unsure about swift water before).  After a few moments, the dipper flew downstream where we lost it in copious deadfall across the creek.

We're curious - has anyone else ever seen a dipper perched in a tree or other vegetation?

I'm happy to announce that the Northern Cardinal spotted last month at Orchard Hills Park continues! It has changed location from its original spot and is now hanging out in a different russian olive located here 39.6124032, -104.8802707.
I also found a Tennessee Warbler a few hundred feet south of that point in some thickets overhanging the creek.
The hotspot is now at 99 species! Help me find #100!
