INFORMATION AND
GUIDELINES
ABOUT OBSERVING ROSY-FINCHES AT CREST HOUSE (November through March)
Anyone
who
attempts to ascend the Crest Road during
or
soon after a snow event should be aware of the dangers. Even
our
SUV with "low-low 4WD" and limited slip differential
sometimes
was not up to the task. My best advice to birders bent on
seeing
the
Rosies is to defer visiting until the State Highway Department has had
a chance to plow and sand the road, which may be 24 hours after the
snow stops falling. The crews do their utmost to clear the
first
seven miles up to the ski area, but even their big trucks can
find the going
increasingly difficult as the 8,000 foot mark is approached (at about
Capulin Spring).
The Crest
House is a
private business that depends on its
employees to provide service to the public. It is
not
unusual for the restaurant and gift
shop to remain closed for safety and security reasons if the parking
lot is iced over or under 3 foot
drifts or if its staff cannot make it to work. The management
and staff have been most courteous to birders and welcome our
presence even if we do not always make purchases. The banders
have often helped the staff open the restaurant by sweeping and
arranging tables before opening
time at 10:00 AM. I admit to
sometimes
being guilty of cluttering the tables with outerwear and blocking the
view with my spotting scope while other patrons were trying to enjoy
lunch and landscape.
Life
can be very harsh at 10K feet, and one should
not
visit without being prepared. I often tell people
to plan
to visit at least two days, allowing time to adjust to the altitude and
provide extra observation time in the event the birds or the weather do
not cooperate. Dress warmly so that you can observe the birds
from outside the Crest House if necessary. If you have
specific
questions about the rosy-finches or general birding in the Sandia
Mountains, or wish to relate a report on your visit, please visit and
post to the FORUM.
Following are a
few more suggestions
about how birders may increase their enjoyment and extend courtesy to
others while visiting the Crest House.

SPECIES REPORTED AT OR ON THE WAY TO SANDIA CREST

updated sighting reports vist the FORUM
NORTHERN
PYGMY-OWL has appeared
intermittently opposite
the base of the Sandia
Ski
Lift It has been seen most often around
sunrise
and
sunset, but may show up any time of day. It has been reported
on
the
east side
of the Crest road
just uphill of the sign for the Sandoval- Bernadillo County line, and
just off the deck of the
Crest House Once it perched right on the support for the
hanging
feeder on the
deck.
During
most winters, CASSIN'S
FINCH
(right, photographed by Ken at deck feeder on February 5, 2003- click
on picture for larger image) flocks to the Crest feeders daily, as does
HAIRY WOODPECKER, WHITE- BREASTED and RED-BREASTED
NUTHATCH.
TOWNSEND'S
SOLITAIRE is
fairly common below 7500 feet and appears at the Crest, especially
later in the winter.
NORTHERN
SAW-WHET OWLS may be
heard
near the Tree Springs Trail Head (see the Mile-by-Mile
Guide to
Crest Road for
directions).
PINE
SISKIN and CLARK'S
NUTCRACKER are
irregularly present,
and
RED
CROSSBILL may be abundant but are even more unpredictable, absent all
of the
winter of 2002-2003 and not returning
until mid-summer, 2003, only to practically disappear in the fall of
2005 and appear intermittently during the winters since then.
CLARK'S
NUTCRACKER can sometimes be seen at the base of Sandia Peak Ski
Area, especially when skiers are present, and appears irregularly at
the Crest.
The
elusive PINE
GROSBEAK has shown up near the deck of
the Crest House and near Capulin Spring,
as well as at the 10K trail
head. Nine Mile Picnic Area and the Ellis and
10K Trail
Heads are also good places to look for Pine Grosbeaks.
NORTHERN
GOSHAWK
nests in the lower
reaches but may be seen any time of year at any elevation
AMERICAN
THREE-TOED WOODPECKER
has reappeared at Sandia Crest after an absence of nearly 10
years. Click
here for an updated summary of American Three-toed Woodpecker
sightings.
Even
before spring
arrives, look for RED-NAPED
SAPSUCKER (one spot for them is the
big snag right at mile post
6), and WHITE-THROATED SWIFTS and
VIOLET-GREEN SWALLOWS may
fly over the
Crest.
Occasionally
PURPLE
FINCHES are reported at the Crest, but so far their
presence has not been confirmed. Since this species is so
unusual
here, great care should be taken to distinguish between them and
CASSIN'S FINCHES.
Photographs will be useful to confirm any
sighting. Some female Cassin's Finches can have strong face
patterns, suggesting Purple Finch. On these birds, check the
bill
(culmen or upper ridge very straight in Cassin's but slightly curved in
Purple) undertail coverts (almost always unstreaked in Purple) and the
pattern of breast streaks (narrow and sharply defined in
Cassin's). Listen
for their distinctive calls, and SEE
THIS COMPARISON FROM CORNELL LAB. HOUSE FINCHES
do not favor the higher elevations and do not visit the Crest House
feeders.

GENERAL
INFORMATION AND
GUIDELINES
ABOUT OBSERVING ROSY-FINCHES AT CREST HOUSE (November through March)
Please
sign the log near front door -- Nick Harada, Manager, and the
staff at Crest
House expect the finches
to attract many visitors, and we believe that birders are having a
positive impact on business.
Show your
support by
purchasing souvenirs and food. Rosy-Finch Patches, Pins and
T-shirts
are now
available. Sales of these items tell the merchant that
birders
are important to the local economy!
A word about counting -- we count
the largest number (total and species) seen at any one time during our
period of observation. Therefore the numbers may not add up.
For example, one day we saw a flock of over seventy birds,
in
which Black and Gray-crowned Rosy-Finches predominated, with only 4
Brown-capped species. They departed and were promptly
replaced
by a small flock of 16 with 10 Brown-capped individuals. We
reported 10 Brown-cap's and 35 Blacks, based on the
separate counts.
The feeders need filling every two to three days
and the rosy-finch feeding program volunteers can not always get up there. Join the cadre
of
volunteers who are willing to help out.
Thanks
to
those who have
left donations of seed in
secure bags (sealed or zip-lock; Hull-less "Patio Mix," or hulled
sunflower seed only-- NO MIXED
SEED!). Please give it to the US Forest
Service volunteer at the Visitors Center near the gift shop door, or
directly to one of the Crest House staff.
ash
donations cannot be
accepted, but
thanks for offering). If you happen to see that the feeders
need
filling, please advise
Alan Mickelson or one of the Crest House staff,
but PLEASE DO NOT fill the feeder or spread seed
yourself.
NOTE
that the deck feeder is always stocked with
hull-less seed to
reduce the amount of litter.
Do not insist
that employees fill the feeders immediately, as they have
their own
work
to do,
and our volunteer project is carried out through the courtesy of Two Mile High, LLC and Crest
House management.
Please do not scatter
seed on the
ground or
pavement.
Do
thank
the staff of the Crest House
for
their
hospitality and consider purchasing souvenirs and snacks. Crest House
is a private business that operates in a newly
expanded private building constructed on land that is leased from the
US Forest Service. This is the only accessible "disturbed"
land
on Sandia Crest, as the US Forest Service prohibits feeding of wildlife
in the surrounding Wilderness Area, so we are most grateful for the
hospitality that Crest House extends to birders. Please respect their
10:00 AM opening time, even though staff may arrive earlier to set up
for business.
Keep
in mind that non-birding customers and visitors have every right to
enjoy the view from
the deck,
even when their activities may cause the birds to stay away from the
deck feeder. PLEASE do not occupy a table if you are not
purchasing food or drink. Take advantage
of every chance to orient visitors to these unique birds.
Allowing them a brief glimpse through your
scope or binoculars may turn some of them into birders for life, or at
least help them understand why you are enjoying a different view from
the Crest House. More than once we have noticed they gain
respect
for your wishes not to flush the birds, and may even become "lookouts"
for the next flock!
Please
keep
your coats and equipment off the
dining tables, so
that other visitors are free to sit down and eat.
When you get home, be sure to enter your observations into the Cornell
Lab of Ornithology data base at eBird.org.

Two feeders are now in use: Feeder #1
is to the SE of Crest
House,

OTHER
SPECIES REPORTED AT OR ON THE WAY TO SANDIA CREST
Following
are
two
contributions, one each from Sandy
Williams and Hart Schwarz, both respected New Mexico ornithologists.
They address the historical presence of Rosy-Finches at
Sandia
Crest.
The three
rosy-finch species seen
at Sandia Crest are: Black Rosy-Finch (Leucosticte
atrata), Brown-capped Rosy-Finch (Leucosticte australis),
and
Gray-crowned Rosy- Finch (Leucosticte
tephrocotis).
Sartor (Sandy) Williams is
Editor of New Mexico Ornithological Society
Field Notes and Chair of the New Mexico Bird Records Committee.
He searched the NMOS archives and provided us with the following
information:
Here
are a few comments
on the history of Rosy-Finches at Sandia Crest and on breeding by
Brown-capped Rosy-Finches in New Mexico that may be of some interest or
use in your overall summary of the situation:
Sandia Crest:
In looking back over the history of Rosy-Finches
in NM, it turns out that Sandia Crest has a fairly long history of
hosting these birds. The earliest record I find for the
Sandias
generally is January 1954, although the earliest record that
specifically mentions "Sandia Crest"
seems to be a flock of 40 on 26 Nov 1955. Records become
more and more numerous through the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.
Fair
sized flocks were being reported by the early 1980s (e.g., up to 85 on
8 Jan 1981). Seasonally early are reports of
60 there 8-13 Nov 1987 and 13 there on 8 Nov 1992; these dates may be a
little earlier than some of the more recent early arrival dates.
Summering/Breeding in NM:
There seems to be some confusion or
misunderstanding regarding breeding by Rosy-Finches in NM.
The
Brown-capped is the breeding species of the Southern Rockies, nesting
from southern Wyoming, through Colorado, to northern New Mexico.
The specific name "australis" refers to this "southern" distribution.
There are now summering and/or breeding records for most of
the
higher peaks in the Sangre de Cristo Mts in NM; from north to south
these are Stateline, Costilla, Latir, Gold Hill, and Wheeler in the
northern Sangres and Jicarita, Truchas, Pecos Baldy, Lake, and Tesuque
in the southern Sangres. While some of these reports are
among
the earliest records we have of Rosy-Finches anywhere in NM (e.g., on
Wheeler Peak 20-30 July 1904), most date from the 1970s or later, and a
number of them were obtained incidental to work with White-tailed
Ptarmigan. Although there are late May records, most of
these
records fall within the dates 26 June-22 August. To my
knowledge, only one nest has been discovered in NM. It was
found
and photographed by Paul Hendricks below Lake Peak in the cirque above
Nambe Lake, where he observed a pair feeding nestlings 21-22 August
1976. Given the
nature of the habitat where these finches nest, it is not too
surprising that only one nest has been documented.
