While chasing the pine warbler (yes) and northern parula (no) today at the beaver pond on the side channel below Chatfield Dam, I couldn't figure out why so much water was flowing down such a small and a seemingly dry wash in December. A few minutes on Google Maps tonight explained why. The primo birding spot owes its life, or at least its water, to the upstream residents of Highlands Ranch and their Marcy Gulch Wastewater Treatment Plant, which is run by the Centennial Water and Sanitation District. The daily average inflow is 6 million gallons per day. Good (sanitary) birding. Mark ObmascikDenver, CO
