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
