Report from Nancy & Steve Cox of Rio Grande Bird Research Sunday, January 18):


Hi Ken,

The crew did not band any birds today.  The only Rosy-Finches that were caught were recaptures from this season.

The flock consisted of approximately 40 birds.  Fifty percent of these were Blacks, 30% were Brown-capped and 20% were Gray-crowned.

The most excitement came when a Sharp-shinned Hawk flew in and scared all the Rosy-Finches away.

The road was mostly fine but there are still icy spots where people should be careful
