[cobirds] Jeffco rosy-finches at Ira and Tammy Sanders today

Several birders watched about 30 rosy-finches swirl from treetop to treetop around Ira and Tammy Sanders home from about 10:30 to noon today.  We found at least one black, one brown-capped, and the rest gray-crowned.  One or two gray-crowned landed on a tray feeder in front, but the flock was kept at bay by a Sharp-shinned Hawk that persisted much of the time in the neighbor’s tree.  The Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch with puffed-up feathers photographed yesterday that appears to be sick fed on the pavement right in front of us for a while.  Thanks, Ira and Tammy!
