Beschrijving
Cherry Creek State Park is 4,000-acre park in the Denver area. The centerpiece of the state park is an 880-acre reservoir, but the area also has excellent riparian woodland, marsh, and grassland. The southern parts of the lake are better for shorebird species, while areas closer to the dam tend to have more diving ducks. You can also scan the water for loons, grebes, cormorants, gulls and terns. The forest along Cherry Creek is home to breeding species such as Yellow-breasted Chat and Yellow Warbler. In the whole area many raptors can be spotted. Also many rarities have appeared over the years.
Because of the many different habitats in Cherry Creek State Park it is possible to observe a wide variety of birds. For example Bald Eagle, Red-tailed Hawk, Great Horned Owl, American White Pelican, Western Grebe, Black-billed Magpie and Ring-billed Gull. The last few years this park has had a couple of Neotropic Cormorants that spent most of the summer here. Some of the other rarities that have showed up at this park have been Short-Billed Gulls and Black-Legged Kittiwakes.
