A quick trip to our cabin in Rosita (Custer Co., 9000 ft) yielded an interesting array of birds for the short time we were there. I filled the feeder and within a couple of minutes had pygmy nuthatches, white br. nuthatches, and mountain chickadees trying to crowd each other out. Later, pine siskins and juncos (pink-sided, grey-headed and Oregon) arrived. About suppertime, a flock of evening grosbeaks (20-30) passed through, pretty much emptying the feeder, and just before we left, a couple of Cassin's finches sampled our offering of sunflower seeds. Other birds seen from the deck: hairy woodpecker, northern flicker, common raven, turkey vulture.
