Hi All,
Since I won't be able to get to the feeders at the Red Rocks Trading
post for the next couple of days, I took some seed down about 4:30P.M.
and stayed for 45 minutes. Seems like some new birds arrived during
the day. As soon as I arrived I noticed two White-winged Juncos side
by side below the lower apple tree. During my stay I observed 4-5
distinct White-winged Juncos plus a lone American Tree Sparrow. This
is the first Tree Sparrow I have seen this season at Red Rocks and I
have never seen more than a couple of White-winged Juncos at any one
time. Other birds missing from this morning's report included 4 Black-
capped Chickadees (which I neglected to mention this morning), 5
American Robins, and one calling Townsend's Solitaire. At 4:45 P.M. a
Great Horned Owl hooted and the Golden-crowned Sparrow came to the
platform feeder and fed for several minutes at 5:15 P.M.
The Rosy-Finch flock did not appear while I was there, but with all
the snow cover and cold, I would think the Rosy's would show up
tomorrow morning.
