Hi,
Today March 25 we had an American Robin appear on the aspen tree that is the main perch for the territorial pair that nests every year by or on the house. I saw another one yesterday in the neighborhood also.
With the snow today and yesterday, the large flock of Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch returned (estimate at least 200 birds). Still could not find one Black RF in the bunch.
We also still have about 12 Pine Grosbeaks hanging out, a few magpies, and Red-breasted Nuthatch. Small flocks of juncos appeared down the hill but overall, it is still very quiet birdwise up here in Packsaddle in the foothills of the Big Holes.
Best, Susan
