[cobirds] Mountain Bluebirds - Centennial (Arapahoe)

My dog and I took a walk this morning at Willow Spring Open Space & Holly Park in west Centennial (Arapahoe). I hoped to find one of those Cassin's Kingbirds that everyone's reporting, and these two spots seemed as good as any in the area for them. Nope, at least not today. But a half dozen
