R.E. Johnson 1969 Journal 173 March 20 Boulder, Nederland + vicinity to Denver, Colorado Portal. At Tolland I found a flock of 40 rosy finches feeding in front of the cabin of Elsie Johnson at 2:30 PM. She said that in the early morning they number up to 200 birds. They are around all day & she can bring them in by putting more seed out & calling to them. The composition of the flock I saw was about 60% tephrocotis, 20% littoralis & 20% australis. On the return trip I found a flock of 40 at Rollinsville at 2:45 PM. Like the previous flock, australis appeared to be a significant percentage but due to the lighting & constant disturbance of the flock I couldn't make any accurate counts. Drove back to Boulder to see Kathy, then on to Denver to ice skate for 1/2 hr (too short), shower (let of trip) & etc. Niwot Ridge Ward Science Lodge Glacier Lake Caribou Barker Reservoir Eldora Nederland Colo 119 Boulder East Portal Tolland Rollinsville To Central City To Estes Park
