Cherry Creek State Park

August 11, 2009

Richard Stevens:

Rebecca Kosten and I made a quick drive through Cherry Creek Reservoir (Arapahoe County); At least one Black-chinned Hummingbird is still lingering behind the Ranger's Office. It perches in the trees at the southeast corner of the fence around the maintenance parking area. When not there, the male hummingbird flies over for some nourishment to the feeder at the house directly east of said corner.

Afterwards, we road our bikes along the east side of the Rocky Mountain Arsenal (Buckley Road between 56th and 88th avenues. Not many birds were found, but the Burrowing Owl count was 11.
