Even though it was primarily a ski day today, I did manage to get in ~2 hours of birding. Highlight was the bird activity at Keystone's North Peak where there was a flock of Brown-capped Rosy-Finches, a "Hepburn's" Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch, and several Pine Grosbeaks. At the Silverthorne Blue River Water Treatment Plant and the pond adjacent to the new Angler Mountain Ranch development, there was a good diversity of ducks. Below are "cuts-and-pastes" from my eBird submissions: Location: Keystone Ski Resort North Peak Observation date: 4/9/09 Notes: The 30 count for GCRF is conservative but the birds were tough to count.
