Today, I headed back to the same spot I found the Rosy Finches on Wednesday - this time with my camera. I was hoping for an easy find, given that I found them on what appeared to be a feeding station in someone's yard that they seemed to like. No such luck. I drove all of CR 861 and 5 miles, out and back of CR 86 and could not relocate them. I also drove some of the mining roads and some of Gold Camp Road but only came home with a few Raven sightings.
I was up there a couple hours earlier today, FWIW. NB: I sent my email on Wednesday afternoon shortly after spotting the finches, but it apparently did not get approved until yesterday.
