[cobirds] Rosy Finches on the plains (3+ mi east of foothills)

Hello wildlife lovers:

After all the drama and bad news for fellow plains communities, we and our Louisville evacuee were delighted for this tiny bit of cheerful news this morning: 

We  noticed that we have Gray-crowned Rosy Finches and one sample Brown-headed (new yardbirds 123 & 4) )  with a large flock of mixed juncos and oodles of Pine Siskins eating seeds on our newly shoveled deck.

All we need now are a few Redpolls and Snow Buntings to complete the winter bird trifecta. But it is a happy moment. These are hungry little fluffballs.
