R.E.Johnson 1969 March 20 Boulder & Nederland & vicinity to Denver, Colorado puts out feed for them regularly. I saw a flock of 80 of them on the wires above the Conners house. A partial count gave the following: 24 tephrocotis, 10 littoralis, + 2 australis. They came & went several times before 10:00 AM when there were 7 birds remaining in a tree above the feeder as I drove off. The birds seen coming & going appeared to be flying to the green house (mentioned above) or to house #3. At 12:15 PM I visited the green house & saw several feeders. There were Starlings, Red-winged Blackbirds, Stellara Jays, & Clark Nutcrackers using it. I spoke to the lady & she said that she hadn't seen Rosy Finches this week (earlier in the day I had seen some flew over her place but not land). She said they were present in Jan-early March and it sounded as if she only got small numbers of them compared to some of the other locations in Nederland. This could be because her house is not so much out in the open & there are more pine trees around which may mean she gets more big birds (jays & nutcrackers) which prevent the others from feeding. My first impression was that this lady knew little about also the birds & was afraid to talk much to a strange man, but this may not be so. She was about to leave & was in a hurry (all dressed up) & her comparative lack of interest in conversation could be related to this. The presence of Starlings is interesting.
