Loveland Pass

Hello cobirders,

My brother John David and I made the traffic laden trip to Loveland Pass on Saturday.

When we parked at the first pullover west of highway 9, we found two White-tailed Ptarmigan on the hillside east of highway 9.  While taking photos back at the Summit, John saw two Gray-crowned Rosy Finches circling overhead.

In Silverthorne we saw three species of Rosy Finches at a private residence.  They are beautiful birds!

The drive home was not much better than the trip up.
