Slooooow birding morning along the Big Dry Creek Trail in Broomfield and Westminster, Colorado USA.
Digiscope video of Evening Grosbeaks. Day after the snow storm. Four males and one female. #birds #colorado #cobirds
A male Hairy Woodpecker with a small red patch on its head clings vertically to a tree trunk. The bird has black and white plumage, and a long bill. The bird is looking over its shoulder at a feeder showing the white and black markings on the face and head.

Ring-bill gull (we have a lot of them)
A bright, rosy-red male Pine Grosbeak sitting on a pine branch during snow fall. The male has a vibrant raspberry-red head and chest, grayish flanks, and dark wings with two distinct white wing bars. The bird is shown perched on a snow covered pine branch.
A male and female Pine Grosbeak perched together on a platform feeder. The male is a vibrant rosy-red and is in the background. The female is in front and is a soft gray with yellow highlights on her head and rump. Snow is falling around them while they eat from the feeder.
A male Pine Grosbeak perched on a backyard bird feeder during winter. The image shows the back of the bird who is looking off to the side so we see its bright rosy-pink head, and the gray and rose pattern of feathers down the back and dark wings with two white bars,

Last Monday at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge.
Brown-capped Rosy-Finch with the most restricted range in Colorado and northern New Mexico. Body is milk-chocolate brown with pink highlights in the wings, tail, belly, and indistinct grayish-brown crown.
Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch most widespread rosy-finch. Body is the color of milk chocolate with pink highlights in the wings, tail and belly. Two different variations of this finch. Pictured is the plain Gray-crowned variety with the gray forming a ring around the crown.
Pictured is a second variation of the Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch. This is the Hepburn's variety with the gray extending down over the cheeks of the bird.
Some still images of the Rosy-Finches. These guys have been a bucket list bird for me for many years thus lots of posts. Brown-capped Rosy-Finch is endemic to #Colorado reaching a bit into WY and NM. Gray-crowned have a larger range from NM to AK and out to the coastal mountains. #birds #cobirds
A wider video view of Rosy finches. Got some good close up images that I will post next. The birds sit up in a tree all together and then swarm down grab some seed and then back up to the trees as a group. Feeder visit lasts 15 secs but the visiting lasts all day. #birds #cobirds #colorado
Out birding for Rosy-Finches. Found Brown-Capped & Gray-crowned. They breed at the highest elevations of any birds on the American continent at 14,000 ft but in winter they drop down to 11,000 feet in large flocks. Video of part of the flock we saw which we counted at 400. #birds #cobirds #Colorado

A juvenile American Goshawk hunting during yesterday's snow storm. He/she caught the squirrel in a tree and then proceeded to try and kill it by dropping it. Unfortunately the soft powder made that a challenge. Eventually seceded and flew off with dinner. #colorado #birds #cobirds
