Michael Kiessig, Rob Raker, and yours truly visited the Red Rocks
feeders this morning between 8 and 10. We were able to see all four
of the uncommon/rare species coming to the feeders on the west side.
The Curve-billed Thrasher, Golden-crowned Sparrow, and first-winter
Harris's Sparrow
all showed up and spent time feeding on the ground in the sunlight to
the delight of the photographers. The White-throated Sparrow did some
skulking in the shrubs back of the feeder post on the west side, but
never did come out in the open.
We had scattered some bird seed around the west garden area earlier in
the morning to attract and spread the birds out. Probably a good idea
to take a little seed just in case no one has scattered any lately.
Also seems to me that the birds come in more often and spend more time
at the feeders on colder and nastier weather days. Monday with the
cold and wind chill factor was my best day of observation at the Red
Rocks feeders.
