Birders, I was at Red Rocks putting out seed this AM at -12 degrees. Almost pleasant. Janel also showed up with seed. No Rosy-Finches except a gentleman who was there before me said he had 1 Black before I got there. A Northern Shrike did show up and scattered everyone. The only sparrows were

Thanks for everybody's advice on removing the cat from the Red Rocks area. I arrived this morning in the freezing temps and noticed Gwen Moore had placed seed in the area. While placing sunflower on the stone wall I heard a few Rosy Finches circling above. After waiting for at least an hour my

Birders, This morning I went to Red Rocks to try for the Fox Sparrow again. This time I had success. I got there at 8 am and the sparrow made his first appearance at 8:05. He showed up again a few minutes later and then put in a cameo when Dick Schottler arrived. No Golden-crowned Sparrow. 1

Yesterday, I went over to Red Rocks for 20 minutes and had the Slate-colored Fox Sparrow underneath the small platform feeder. I did not have time to look for anything else, but I did see the Peregrine Falcon fly over and back to Ship Rock. Mark Chavez Lakewood-Green Mtn http://jaeger29.smugm
