The time has clearly arrived to start feeding at Red Rocks on a regular schedule. Joe Roller has asked me to coordinate the volunteer effort this year. Most of us put down sunflower seed or a bit of white millet. This is especially important during the very cold and/or snowy days. By having a schedule, we can avoid a significant gap in feeding followed by multiple birders going on the same day.
My thought is that we should have one person in charge of each day of the week, with a group of people who can be called to substitute, either for a specific day or for any day. Mark Chavez is going to take Tuesdays, and I will take Thursdays and Sundays. So we need a volunteer for Sat., Mon., Wed. and Friday. We will feed starting now and go through mid March. Please email me directly if you are willing to take one day a week, or to be an occasional volunteer on call. I will put together a contact list and make it available to all the volunteers. Our goal is to attract the usual juncos, towhees, scrub jays, chickadees, and unusual sparrows, Townsend's solitaires, and especially any hungry rosy finches. Plus who knows what uncommon sparrows or other seed-eaters may show up? Gwen Moore -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
