Jefferson County, Red Rocks

[Cyndy Johnson]

 I went up to Red Rocks yesterday afternoon.  I didn't know that there was construction/destruction going on around the Trading Post. 

 There were the usual Junco's, but they were out front of the Trading Post in the dirt, so I put half my seed out there.  I went around to the east side and go in to the back yard.  There were 2 House Finch either stuck in the empty feeder, or were keeping warm.  I let them out and filled up the feeder and then cleared the snow on the west side and dumped another bag out.  There wasn't a lot of activity on the west side, since it looks like no one had been there for awhile.  The east side feeder had the Lazuli Bunting's that Joann reported earlier this week.  The Prairie Falcon was in his usual spot, there were hundreds of Yellow-rumped Warblers mixed in with Clay-colored/Chipping/Brewer's sparrows along the road and bushes.  I didn't see the Peregrine(s).
