Yesterday while skiing at Keystone, I had a flock of ~150 Rosy-Finches at North Peak. While I normally see Brown-capped Rosy-Finches with a few Gray-crowned, today roughly a third of the R-F's were Gray-crowned of which several were the Hepburn's subspecies. There was at least one Black R-F, possibly two.
At the Blue River Water Treatment Plant, there were ~20 Goldeneyes including 4 male Barrow's Goldeneyes, 3 Common Goldeneyes and 6 female Barrow's Goldeneyes. I was not able to ID the balance of the females due to time. On a trip to Denver, I made a quick stop at the Red Rocks Trading Post in the afternoon. There was a single Brown-capped Rosy-Finch, the White-throated Sparrow and a brief ~4 minute appearance by the Golden-crowned Sparrow. I talked with one other birder who had the same species excluding the Golden-crowned. Neither one of us had the Thrasher nor the Harris's Sparrow.
