[cobirds] Weld Rd. 128 Rosy-Finches/Private Property

COBirders,

Both viewing o opportunities for the Weld County Rosy-Finches on Rd. 128 are located on private property. The empty property on 128 just west of 37 is private property, however the Rosy-Finches are easily viewed from the road while in your vehicle.

The homestead at the intersection of 128 & 37 is occupied and also private property. The owners there are quite aware of all of the vehicles at the empty homestead and have so far been tolerant of the activity, but please respect their property and be considerate of the fact that this is their home.

The Rosy-Finches at the bluff on 128 are on private property which is owned by the Lazy D Grazing Association. There is no access to this property so stay on the road if the flock happens to be at this location. They rosies are far enough away that you may want a scope but straying off the road here is not permitted. The ranch hand for the Lazy D checks this property frequently and is not tolerant of trespassers.

I am still not sure if there are 2 flocks of Rosy-Finches or if this is just one flock that splits up. I am leaning towards it being 2 different flocks as this morning the rosies were being seen in both locations at around the same time. 

Thanks to everyone for their cooperation so that we may all continue to enjoy these birds for the remainder of the winter.
