175 Journal R. E. Johnson 1969 March 21 Boulder & Nederland, Colorado I drove up from Denver & Kathy from Boulder & we met at the Snarelys house at about 5:30 AM with the idea of netting the entire large flock of rosy finches on the Snarelys porch when they landed to feed just before 6 AM. Our plan required that there be little or no wind, but it was a windy day. We finally abandoned our idea & set out small live traps instead. By this method we obtained about a dozen birds. The Snarelys volunteered to continue trapping for me while I was away for a couple days so I left them some traps & cages. March 21 Boulder to Poncha Pass, Colorado We returned to Boulder, then drove south via Colorado 93 to Morrison & on to South Park via US 285. We visited the first ranch we had ever visited in South Park (Jan. 30, 1969 - referred to as #1) & obtained permission to trap rosy finches near the feeding troughs in the corrals. (3 Litoralis, 11 Tephrotes) We trapped 14 birds between 4:20 PM & 5:40 PM when the last individual disappeared, apparently to roost for the night. at about 5:45 PM we checked a barn east of Jefferson & found many Starlings & one Rosy Finch roosting. at 6:15 PM we stopped at location 3A (the barn of Jan. 30 & Feb. 7). There were many Starlings roosting but only 3 rosy finches. We also saw some Mtn. Bluebirds nearby (not roosting). We drove on & "camped" north of Poncha Pass.
