Rosy-finches in Park Co, white geese in Boulder Co

[Charles Hundertmark]

The rosy-finches previously reported by David Suddjian and the Kingeries were again at the feeders in Jefferson. 60-70 came to the feeders regularly. Predominantly Gray-crowned with a few Brown-capped and one Black. Driving home, I was surprised to see at least 3 white geese in a large (thousands) mixed waterfowl hoard at Burke Lake on the north side of Arapaho in Boulder Co. The flock comprised mostly white-cheeked geese, both Cackling and Canada. There was also a nice variety of ducks. Of the white geese, one appeared to be a Snow Goose, one a Ross’s Goose, and the third possibly another Ross’s. Best viewed from Park Lake Drive to avoid Arapaho traffic.
