Don & Terrie have 7 children: Marilyn (17),
Karen (15), Phyllis (13), Daniel (12), Janice (10), John (6),
& Mark (4\frac{1}{2}).
I drove to Tolland to see if I could catch
some additional australis but Elsie Johnson was
not home and I saw no rosy finches. I returned
to Rollinsville & visited Mrs. Crow who lives in the
house where I noted rosy finches on March 20.
She said she hadn't seen any today. We did see
a flock of 30 fly by to the SE.
She said the first birds arrive in mid November but no large
flocks until later on.
I returned to Boulder to see Kathy & buy
more bird feed, etc.
Addenda: It was 18°F at 6:30 AM in Nederland.
3 capture birds died - (2 tephrocotes, 1
campestres).
