The snow brings the finches...
I have over 2,000 rosy finches in my yard in Estes. The flock is mostly Gray-crowned with a few Brown-caps mixed in.
Only 1 Black seen so far.

I asked Scott if birders were invited to view this big flock, and he said, "Sure! Come to my house. Just let me know when you might be here."
It's fun to see a Rosy-Finch or a few, but over 2,000 in one flock! Life's getting Rosy.
Please practice social distancing, with respect to the Covid-19 pandemic.

PS As is the Colorado custom, birders visiting active feeders like this usually bring along
a bag of seeds or a cash donation to defray costs.
