Hi all, Managed to see a few birds whilst on a family ski day yesterday, Sunday, at Snowmass. The weather was mainly sunny, so not optimal for Rosy Finches visiting the feeders. However we managed to see a few: There were two Gray-crowned Rosy Finches (interior form) at the feeder at the top of the Village Express chairlift at Sam's Knob, and there were 14 Brown-capped Rosy Finches at the feeder at the Wapiti Wildlife centre at the top of the Elk Camp chairlift, where there were also a couple of Pine Grosbeaks and a few Mountain Chickadees. No color bands were observed on any of the Rosy Finches.
The skiing conditions were very nice, and given that it was during the holiday weekend, and the mountain was busy, lift lines were still not long.. All in all a great day. Anyone wanting advice on visiting Snowmass ski area for birding please don't hesitate to contact me Good birding Dick Filby Carbondale,Garfield Co -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds".
