Hi all
Tom McConnell and I birded a few spots yesterday (Tuesday) in another attempt to find a Western Colorado Hoary Redpoll. We scrutinised many Redpolls, but all looked like Commons to us. We enjoyed a great day out anyway. Highlights included Walden (Jackson Cty) 60 Common Redpolls 10 Gray-crowned Rosy-Finches Several Rough-legged Hawks south of town, along CO14 towards Muddy pass Kremmling (Grand County) 10 Gray-crowned Rosy-Finches 1 Black Rosy-Finch 25 Common Redpolls Roadside subdivision by CO9, at south end of Grand County (the entrance road is named Spring Creek Road) 100+ Rosy-Finches including at least 5 Brown-capped Silverthorne (Summit County) 15 Barrow's Goldeneye 150+Rosy-Finches Today, Wednesday, I did my free bird tour at Snowmass Ski area (Pitkin County) Highlights included 40 Brown-capped Rosy Finches 2 Gray-crowned Rosy Finches 3 Mountain Bluebirds at 12,500 feet (flew over whilst we were looking at fresh White-tailed Ptarmigan tracks.. but alas no ptarmigan Fresh Mountain Lion tracks (mother and cub) - well spotted Lulu !
