This morning (Wednesday) Jeanne and I went to Divide to try to see the Rosy-Finches reported yesterday by Jeff Jones.
While we did not see them on the street reference in Jeff's map, we did find a large number at the end of a street called Allison Place. There were several hundred of the birds at a series of feeders. As Jeff requested, we stayed in our car and had a full hour of viewing from 8:45 to almost 10:00am. Almost all of the birds were clearly Gray-Crowned Rosy-Finches, but we could not rule out Brown-Capped or Black. Also seen at or near the feeders: Many American Crows 4 Eurasian Collared Doves 3 Oregon Dark-eyed Juncos Mountain and Black-capped Chickadees House Sparrows 2 Downy W/P 10 Magpies In the area: RT Hawk House Finches Stellar's Jay Good birding!
