[cobirds] Arapahoe County Northern Cardinal and Tennessee Warbler

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!
