[cobirds] Rosy-Finches Teller County

Birders,

 

Quite by accident, I found myself in Victor (Teller County) today. I encountered a flock of all three species of Rosy-Finches at a feeder on the north side of the northernmost street in town. It didn’t take long to find out why they were here. There was a well-stocked feeder in a yard. Sorry I don’t have addresses, but Victor is a tiny town, and it should be easy to relocate the flocks. Curiously, most of the Rosy-Finches here were Brown-capped. There were also at least 10 Black Rosy-Finches in the flock of approximately 100 individuals. I had to look hard to find a Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch.

 

On my way to my hiking destination, I stopped by the Sailboard parking lot on the north side of Pueblo Reservoir. Five Common Loons and one Red-throated Loon (previously reported) were just offshore from the parking lot.
