If sufficient staff cannot get up to Crest House, they will not open their doors. The manager no longer resides on-site, so instances of closing in bad weather may be a bit more frequent. We are sorry about your experience.
By mid-March, the number of rosy-finches and the sizes of individual flocks will start to decrease. Some species may depart earlier than others. Since Gray-crowned Rosy-Finches have been scarce this year, I would not be surprised if they become harder to find.
However, flocks have persisted past the middle of March in 7 of the past 10 years, and stragglers often continue into early April. All in all, you have a fair chance of seeing at least two species.
Please let us know about the results of your next trip.
