When I struggle to find directions to a site mentioned on Cobirds, especially ones with common names, like "Bear Creek," "Deer Creek," or "Animadversion Creek," I hop on the CFO County birding website. At the top of the page is a link named, "Find a Site."
There I found this handy description: *Centennial Park* *Description* - This medium sized pond is probably the best pond for waterbirds in the area. Large flocks of dabblers and divers can be found here during the colder months, and keep an eye out for grebes and maybe even the stray loon or two. Gull flocks could potentially hold an interesting species or two during the winter, and who knows what rarity (maybe even a Prothonotary Warbler some cold November day) could show up at this seldom-birded location. *Habitat* - Pond, Park *Directions* - Take the Santa Fe exit off of C-470 and head north on Santa Fe for 5 miles to Union Ave. Take a left onto Union Ave and head across the South Platte River to Decatur St in 0.8 miles. If you reach Federal Blvd you have gone too far. Turn right onto Decatur and head north to the parking lot for the park, on the right. *Delorme* - 40 D2 *Roads of Colorado* - 73 D3 *Colorado Roads & Recreation* - 75 D9 Posting a "RFI" on Cobirds works pretty well too. A general rule is, "The more exciting the rarity, the less likely it is that the good soul who sent the first post leaves off detailed street directions."
