152 R.E.Johnson 1969 Journal Feb.8 Evergreen, Jefferson Co. to Granby, Grand Co., Colorado In route to the dump I had stopped at one ranch where I saw several (5 or 6) Starlings & 2 Magpies. I also got stuck in the snow there & had to be pulled out. After leaving the Granby dump I returned to the Fraser dump and cars & trucks were still coming & going regularly at 4 - 4:30 PM! This must be the town social center & surely I'd encountered half the population by now! I explored several dirt roads & snowshoed to some barns that looked hospitable to Rosy Finches. One contained Cliff Swallow nests but there were no finches. Finally I drove back to Granby for gas, dinner, & a motel room to dry off in. Birds seen at Fraser Dump & vicinity: Black-billed Magpie Raven Brown-capped Rosy Finch MT. Chickadee Steller Jay Canada Jay Feb 9 Granby, Grand Co., Colorado to Roosevelt, Duchesne Co., Utah Considerable car trouble this morning due to the cold weather. Finally it was ready to function at 9:15 AM. It was -25 in Granby & -27 in Tabernash last night.
