Richard Stevens:
Tried to stay home today, did not make it. Gary called, he and another birder wanted to go to Mt Evans (Clear Creek County). I wanted to checkout the campgrounds for Three-toed Woodpeckers anyway, so up we went.
No American Three-toed Woodpeckers were found. Two Brown-capped Rosy Finches were at the northeast corner of Summit Lake when we arrived. Did not have to hike to northwest corner where they usually are found. No Ptarmigan today.
Observed several Broad-tailed Hummingbirds at the southeast corner of Echo Lake. A Lincoln's Sparrow was at the northwest corner. No Three-toed Woodpeckers around Echo Lake either.
On the way home we stopped at Genesee Mountain Park (Jefferson County) and found a pair of Williamson's Sapsuckers around the group picnic area. Other birds found included 4 Red Crossbills, Pine Siskins, Mountain Chickadees, and White-breasted Nuthatches.
