Let's go on an adventure to the mountains to find Rosy-Finches and other mountain birds. We may find the three species of Rosy-Finch, and other "mountain finches" that are around, including Pine Grosbeak, Evening Grosbeak, Red Crossbill, Cassin's Finch and others. We might also see Canada Jay and Clark's Nutcracker, Rough-legged Hawk and other winter montane species. The trip will focus on locations in Jefferson and Park counties. We will carpool from the meeting spot. Bring lunch, snacks and drinks. We will cover a fair amount of ground by car, but there will be minimal walking. But expect snowy and icy conditions, cold temperaturs and maybe windy conditions when we are out of the cars. 

This trip is led by David Suddjian. 

Meet at the Aspen Park RTD Park-N-Ride on Hwy 285. The address is 26137 Conifer Rd, Aspen Park, CO.
