Hi Glenn,

I just found and photographed an adult breeding-plumage TRICOLORED HERON at Cherry Creek State Park. It's actively feeding in the Cottonwood Creek wetland pond (the small pond adjacent to S. Peoria Street near where it curves west and becomes E. Belleview Ave.).  

It's also next to the Cottonwood Creek Trail.

This is not the pond across from the model airplane area; this one is south of that area.

If you park along S. Peoria Street, you can enter the park through a pedestrian gate, and walk 100 yards east to the cattail-lined pond.

 I wanted to get this on the CFO website, but could not log in, so I'm hoping you can get the word out.

Cheers,

Philip
