Visiting birder needing recommendations for Rosy Finches and Pine Grosbeak

[Vinayak Hebbagil]

Hi Colorado birders,

I and my wife are birders visiting from California this weekend. We are keen on seeing some of the Colorado birds that would be lifers for us such as Brown-capped Rosy Finch, Pine Grosbeak, American three-toed Woodpecker, Bohemian Waxwing, etc.

We'll be mainly in the Denver and surrounding area but can drive around farther. Wanted to get recommendations from the group on the birding spots to try with a good chance of finding the Rosy finches and the Pine Grosbeak. Also, any pointers on where we could attempt to see the American three-toed Woodpecker would be great (Have seen some reports coming from upper Maxwell falls trail so planning to check that)

Appreciate your help and thank you in advance.

Thanks,

Vinayak
