Hi All,

part of the Backyard Bird Count) with sporadic results as far as
seeing all the specialities and saw only one lonely Gray-crowned Rosy
Finch. Knowing it was going to be cold last night and possibly cloudy

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,
My birding site was rather odd this morning, the Boulder County Wastewater
Treatment Plant. I was surveying waterfowl that were using the different tanks
at the facility. In a tank that had only Mallards and American Widgeon, I had
a long look at a bird with a rusty head and a wide green swath

A very good birder from out of the country is arriving in Denver ~Apr 11 for
8 days and wonders if there will be any places in CO where he could still

Today (2/21), Nick Komar and I decided to go birding at Jackson Lake State Park

Junction, Colorado. The paper session will be held on the afternoon of

checklists are now in the system, and the numbers come back for those

Now that the weather has allowed the bark, phloem, xylem and sap of trees to
thaw out so the sapsuckers overwintering in the Canon City area can more
easily obtain nourishment, felt more comfortable getting a good count for
the Great Backyard Bird Count. I did inadvertently flush one sapsucker but
