Mockingbird in CCSP

[Gary Brower]

Friends,

I saw, what I’m fairly sure was, a Northern Mockingbird late this morning in at the prairie-dog town on the west side of Peoria — the Vista Trail (across from the Cottonwood Creek wetlands). While my eBird checklist wouldn’t indicate it, it was within Cherry Creek State Park.

eBird shows NOMO as “infrequent” in the area, and the bar chart for Arapahoe County shows that. But I don’t see any records for Cherry Creek State Park!

Of course, there have been a couple of other NOMO sightings in the county in the last couple of days!

Surprising!
