Rosy-Finches, Eastern Fremont Co.

[mille...@aol.com]

This morning I was walking along CR 120 south of Penrose when a flock of four or five dozen Rosy-Finches landed on the limestone bluff next to the road.  All of the ones I could identify were Gray-crowned Rosy-finches.  Later on at home, looking over some group photos of the flock, I only found Gray-crowns.

 

The flock stayed along the road for about 20 mins., then took off south toward the river.  My location was on CR 120 about two miles west of the Pueblo Co. line,  just west of the bridge over "Ranger Creek".
