FYI, my friend Boris and I visited the Moose Visitor Center on Cameron Pass this morning and had two groups of rosy-finches come swirling in. I would say total individuals was about 110 birds, with 4 brown-capped and the rest gray-crowned (mostly normal types and a smattering of Hepburn's).
Other birds were both chickadees, Steller's and Canada jays and magpies. No pine grosbeaks or sparrows. The east side of the pass has a low level of snow, the west side is much better (including the Walden area). We cruised the road up toward Lake John w of Walden hoping to glimpse sage-grouse but no luck. Very few areas where sage is sticking out above the snow. On this road we had small groups of horned larks, with one gray-crowned rosy-finch in their midst. Other birds included golden eagles, common ravens and crows. No rough-legged hawks.
