R.E Johnson 1269 Journal 196 Feb. 2 Boulder, Boulder Co., to Leadville, Lake Co., & return, Colorado the flock of rosy finches at the feeder & on the phone wires. They also landed in the front yard of another house, on its roof and in a tall shrub & adjacent tree across the street. We continued south with the intend to go to Salida where many birds have been collected in the past; however we changed our minds & drove north through Buena Vista to Leadville instead. Near the Hwy. 1ct. south of Buena Vista we saw a flock of Horned Larks. At Leadville we drove around the city hoping to locate rosy finches with no luck & then drove up a dirt (snow covered) road through the old mining district. In the process I drove off the road into the snow & the remainder of daylight time was spent summoning a tow truck from town. Twenty $ later we took some sunset pictures of the mtns to the west & then returned via the route we had come on. In south park we stopped to see if we could attempt to collect rosy finches from roosting spots in some low barns, but the rancher said this would disturb the cattle too much, so we abandoned this idea & drove back to Boulder. Feb. 3 Boulder & Nederland, Boulder Co., Colorado: Most of the day was spent with the bird skins
