[cobirds] Birds today - Chatfield to Red Rocks

[cobirds] Brant....finally. Douglas County, CO

After 7 unsuccesful tries to locate the Brant (6 in Chatfield, 1 in Loveland), my son and I finally got a tip on the Brant location. Sure enough. He was at Redstone Park in Highlands Ranch. The furthest south baseball field next to the houses. We were able to walk right up to the flock and
