That is a very unusual sighting, Justin, in fact the first I've heard about at that elevation in the East Mountains, and also the earliest. Is it possible for you to post your photos to document the sighting? Alternatively you may e-mail them to me and I can post them for you. If so documented, it should be reported to eBird along with the photos.

During the winter several years ago, rosy-finches flocked to a feeder in Madrid, which is only about 6,000 feet elevation, so their appearance away from the snow-covered ridges is not nearly as unusual as the time of year. I look forward to seeing the photos.

Thanks!
