Hi Mike,

This COBirds post from last winter should 
help:  https://groups.google.com/g/cobirds/c/h1Jj9nM06zE/m/SNgQj-qWHQAJ 

Click on the link to Todd Deininger's map (Thanks Todd!!!).  Ward can 
sometimes be hit or miss, but the lower Ward feeders will often have Pine 
Grosbeaks and some Rosy's.  As is often the case with winter feeders in the 
mountains, the feeders are often typically productive during and after foul 
weather (snow).  As always be respectful of both the birds' and the 
homeowners' rights. Watch from a distance, avoid pointing binoculars toward 
house windows, keep groups small, don't be loud, park safely and legally, 
etc. so that birding access continues to be allowed.  Most often in Ward, 
its better to park where its safe and walk to the feeders.  

John Malenich,
Boulder, CO
