Greetings All
Today, Cathy Sheeter and I started out at Red Rocks, with huge numbers of birds coming into seed Cathy spread out. I don't know what brand or mix she bought, but the birds nearly totally ignored what was already on the ground. In any case, we had about 200 rosy-finches come in, breakdown being 20 Black, 40 Hepburn's, and the remainder "standard" Gray-crowned. We saw hundreds of juncos, some of which I still have to scratch my head over, but at least 3 GH x PS Juncos and the WW x PS Junco has returned. The GOLDEN-CROWNED SPARROW did its job and gave us nice views. Chatfield is nearly solid ice, but in a small stretch of water near the n. boat ramp the RN GREBE remains. Also, in a small patch of water in the middle of Chatfield were 3 Western Grebes, and unless we have a sudden thaw, methinks they are destined to become eagle food. Finally, we dropped in at Barr Lake. No sign of Red Fox Sparrow, but an American White Pelican remained in the small bit of open water.
