Jim Bottoms and I headed up to Loveland Pass in search of White-tailed Ptarmigan. Another lucky day, we did not have to hike as far as Randy Cross and I did Monday. Two White-tailed Ptarmigan were around the huge rock outcropping below the Sniktau trail about 60 yards and perhaps 0.4 miles from our car. A few Mountain Bluebirds were still flying around west of the parking area.
No birds at Loveland Ski Basin. The feeders that use to be visited by Rosy Finches and Pine Grosbeaks are gone. The ski area was forced to take them down by the Forest Service.
We stopped at Genesee Mountain Park and walked from the group picnic area to the top (by the flag pole). No Williamson's Sapsuckers were encountered today. They could be gone for the season. We missed them Monday also.
