147 Journal R.E. Johnson 1969 Feb. 3. Boulder & Nederland, Colorado in the U of Colo. Museum, but Kathy & I also took an afternoon trip to Nederland + to the Science Lodge. We saw the flock of rosy finches at the feeder across from the laundromat (nearly all were tephrocotis) as they feed on the ground & sat on the phone wires. Finally they all flew off to the me. We attempted to locate them on the flats near the lake + above the lake on the open slopes with no success. Perhaps they were headed back to their roost since it was around 4 PM (very approx.). Feb. 4-6 Boulder, Colorado These 3 days were spent measuring birds in. the Museum at the Univ. of Colorado. Among the many birds are 2 of special interest; one from Kodiak and another from Mt. Zirkel in no. Colorado. This latter bird is much darker than australis & surely is a hybrid between australis & atrata. Mt. Zirkel is [illegible] located at the nearest point in the australis range to the atrata range, a distance of at least 150 miles.
