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!
