Conejos County Rosy-finches

[mvjo...@gmail.com]

Just chatted with Susan Hochstetler and she told me she now has 4-500 Rosy finches coming to her feeders, south of the Monte Vista Refuge. (Conejos County). They are primarily Brown-capped with 8-10 Black and a few Gray-crowned as well. She is located 7 miles south of the Monte Vista Refuge and welcomes birders to stop by. So to get there, go south on CO 15 and when the pavement ends at the 12S, continue south for 1 mile. Her place is second on the left, about a mile south of the end of pavement.

Susan is an Amish lady who lost her husband Martin this past fall. She would welcome your visit and please consider helping her out with a donation. She said she goes through 10-11 gallons of feed per day!
