Glenn:
I have seen Rosy Fiches (Black-capped as I recall) apparently nesting in =
the rocks high up on a ski run called Regulator Johnson at the Snowbird =
Ski resort. To access this run, take the Snowbird tram from the resort =
base to the top of Hidden Peak (11,000 ft.) and look down the slope to =
the right (north and east) that runs down into Gad Valley.
With the low snowpack this year, it may be possible to walk out onto the =
RJ run along the snowcat tracks - follow the signs.
It's also a very pleasant walk down from the top - follow the signs for =
Chip's Run and walk down the road. You may see Clark's Nutcracker, =
Steller's Jay, Mountain Chickadee, Blue Grouse and Pine Grosbeak.
Alternatively, you can ride back down on the tram at no charge. Check =
the tram schedule for times.
In mid-winter, large flocks of the finches can frequently be seen flying =
around the lodges at Alta farther up in Little Cottonwood Canyon.
At the very least, your birders should have a wonderful visit to Utah's =
Wasatch Mountains and get great views of spectacular scenery.

This lady posted to the Bird Net a couple of weeks ago. Can anyone =
answer her question about where to see a Black Rosy Finch. I think that =
with this bird you just take your chances. Some of you will know more =
about it that I do. Will you please cc: me when you answer? Thanks.

Glenn, =20
Thanks for the offer to join up for some birding but we will have =
to decline. we are only in Eden until the morning of the 31st. That day =
we head down to SW Utah for a few days down there. We then come back to =
SLC to fly out on Labor Day. It is really nice to know there are so many =
nice birders out there willing to give folks a hand. I wish we could =
join you all; however, we are also birding with a handicap - our almost =
4 yr old son. He is into the whole nature scene and he even makes me =
keep an animal list for him but we can't do those maniacal big days =
while he is with us. Hopefully he will stay interested and will be able =
to do that with us in a few years.
Any tips on the Black Rosy Finch would be appreciated, though, as =
that is also one of our target birds.
Thank you again.
