[cobirds] recent birds in the Roaring Fork Valley

Hi all

 

Good to be back in sunny and warm Colorado... the UK has barely gotten above freezing for weeks.. which is very abnormal for March

 

Highlights in the yard have included 2 LINCOLN’S SPARROWS for the past few days, they stage here in the spring, and FOS 2 TURKEY VULTURES over this evening.

 

Meanwhile at Snowmass there have been several ROSY-FINCHES at the feeder at the top of the Village Express Chairlift (I saw them Wednesday) including Gray-crowned and Brown-capped but no Blacks (yet).  My next free bird tour there will be next Wednesday, March 3rd.

 

Looks like the Osprey nest across the Roaring Fork from the house is again occupied by Canada Geese, but hopefully the Ospreys will move in soon!

 

There was a report of “white geese” near Catherine Store Carbondale a few days ago..

 

Good birding all
