[Birdtalk] Rosy-Finches

[Brian Maxfield]

I have observed two large flocks of rosy-fnches over the past couple of days.  The largest was in Indian Canyon (south of Duchesne) and number around 100 birds.  It was a mixture of Black Rosy-finches and Gray-crowned Rosy-finches.  They were feeding on roads cuts near the national forest boundary sign along the highway.

The other flock, around 60 birds, was seen along the Jones Hole road northeast of Vernal.  The flock was feeding in road cuts along the road heading down into Jones Hole approximately 4-5 miles before the hatchery.  Again, the flock was a mixture of Gray-crowned and Blacks Rosy-finches.  I looked and looked but could not find any Brown-capped Rosy-finches but no luck.  I thought since I was only a mile or so from Colorado maybe one would slip in.
