Folks- I spent a few hours at Allenspark today
(http://www.coloradocountybirding.com/county/bird_a_county.php?name=Boulder#349
), from a little after 9 am to about 1pm. Rosy-finches came three
times- 3 Brown-capped were there when I arrived, and about an hour
later 3 Gray-crowned came in. The final bunch was the best, about 20
birds with multiple Gray-crowned (including a couple of Hepburn's) and
a lone female Black Rosy-Finch among the Brown-caps. One of the Brown-
capped was banded but no color bands. No sign of the Band-tailed
Pigeon, but always busy with common montane birds including the 5 main
Dark-eyed Junco forms, scads of Pine Siskins, Downy & Hairy
Woodpeckers, Steller's Jays, both Chickadees, etc. A Sharp-shinned
Hawk set the birds to scattering as I was packing up to leave. Also a
treat to see a group of 7 Bighorn Sheep rams between mile marker 30 &
29 on highway 7 above Lyons.
Enjoy- Bill Schmoker, Longmont
p.s. Thanks, Mark & Rachel, for lining up the new list serve system!
