Birds have been noted in the past in town [illegible] around a bird feeder, in the parklands & below the dam. We explored some other roads, leading to a ski area & another to Caribou (old mining town now abandoned).

We returned to Nederland [illegible] a little before dusk and saw 8 rosy finches sitting on a phone line in front of the house with the bird feeder.

One strike was seen. I returned to Boulder & drove south on Colorado Hwy 93 south through Golden to Red Rocks Theater and Morrison.
