Richard Stevens:
Temperature reached 57 degrees. Wind speed was variable, in Boulder 21 mph, slightly higher in mountains.
To miss Denver traffic, I left home around 4:00 am. A about eight Gray-crowned Rosy Finches flew around Allenspark. Later I found ten Gray-crowned Rosy Finches and four Brown-capped Rosy Finches in Ward.
A snowshoe hike up the Brainard Lake road added a drumming male American Three-toed Woodpecker to my day list.
Dropping back down in Boulder, I sat in my car for 2 hours before the Varied Thrush flew into the yard at 3896 Bosque Court. The bird came from the backyard of the house directly west (white truck in driveway).
Misses: no Vermilion Flycatcher found at Walden Ponds. Then I walked the White Rocks trail. No Rusty Blackbirds or Swamp Sparrows encountered.
My birding day ended at Lagerman Reservoir. No Short-eared Owls found this evening.
