[cobirds] Redpolls at Fawn Brook (Boulder Co)

Drove up to Lily Lake this morning to check for the redpolls.

Stopped briefly at what is left of Lake Estes (little variety):
Canada Goose  120
Mallard  126
Ring-billed Gull  1
Black-billed Magpie  1
American Crow  21
Common Raven  1

Lily Lake produced no redpolls in about 1.5 hours of looking.
Mountain Chickadee  4
Pygmy Nuthatch  15
Brown Creeper  2

Stopped at Fawn Brook Inn where I was quickly greeted by a Common Redpoll at the feeders. There appeared to be at least two present, though only one appeared at a time. They were skittish, but eventually I was able to approach one at about 12 feet. 
Downy Woodpecker (Rocky Mts.)  1
Steller's Jay  3
Common Raven  1
Black-capped Chickadee  3
Mountain Chickadee  8
Pygmy Nuthatch  8
Dark-eyed Junco  1
House Finch  1
Common Redpoll  2     2 seen at less than 25 feet. photos
Pine Siskin  3
American Goldfinch  1
