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.
