Join us for a half day trip to McCabe Meadows Park – highlighting nesting birds in a riparian habitat.  This park was formerly known as a Parker Regional Park.  Access the park by driving south on Parker Road from Cherry Creek State Park.  Cross Main Street in Parker (still going south).  McCabe Meadows is located on the west side of Parker Road about a mile south of Parker's Main Street.  For a visual there is a helpful map found at the link below.  Meet leader at 7:30 am at the park.  We will bird until about noon.  Bring water, hat, snack. http://www.douglas.co.us/parksandtrails/documents/Cherry_Creek_Regional_Trail_Map_2-25-10.pdf
