Finally, I put a few rosy-finch photos on my website from Red Rocks P visit on 21 Feb 2012. Altho I was photographing, not counting, this flock that comes to Red Rocks this winter seems to have more black (I counted 6 at least), lots of gray-crowned, and more Hepburn's (several) than I used to see up at Fawn Brook Inn. Also, I only saw one Brown-capped Rosy-Finch in this group. It was interesting to watch them through the scope feed under the ice shelves and apparently drink water from the dripping edges while huddling in the nooks and crannies of the rock wall. I didn't see any picking insects off the snow as I have at Summit L on Mt Evans while doing BBA work in July.
