Thanks for everybody's advice on removing the cat from the Red Rocks area.  I arrived this morning in the freezing temps and noticed Gwen Moore had placed seed in the area. While placing sunflower on the stone wall I heard a few Rosy Finches circling above. After waiting for at least an hour my fears were erased when the Golden-crowned Sparrow perched in the thicket and begin eating millet. Not long after 4 Black and 4 Gray-crowned Rosy Finches appeared.  When I first arrived I noticed very few birds at the feeders.  Most birds were perched in full sun trying to thaw out!!!  A few photos of the Rosy Finches and Golden-crowned can be seen below:
