Richard Stevens:
Rosy Finches are not being seen in any numbers at the Colorado State Forest Visitor's Center this winter. In two mornings, we found only one Brown-capped Rosy Finch (Tuesday) and one Gray-crowned Rosy Finch (Wednesday).
Nearby at a friend's ranch however, we observed 400+ Rosy Finches (three species). Ranger Lakes did not add an American Three-toed Woodpecker or Boreal Owl sighting this trip.
Tuesday afternoon we did find the male American Three-toed Woodpecker north of the Visitor's Center and Hwy 14!
We drove Jackson County Roads 26, 26b & 26a on Wednesday morning. No Greater Sage-Grouse were found.
Wednesday night we managed to hear, not see a Boreal Owl just west of Cameron Pass. Winds were strong, but varied. During one of the slow times, a Boreal Owl was heard quite far from the north side of hwy 14.
