Media notes
Pine grosbeaks in aspen tree; the bird on the right is more colored up.
Observation details
Birds were perched in nearby aspen trees as well as standing on the snowbank on the edge of the hwy. NO PLACE to park a car. A few birds at a time would fly down to the hwy's edge, pecking at the gravel. Then that group would fly back up to the snowbank and trees, and a different small group of birds would then fly down to the roadway and repeat this feeding (?) behavior. Birds appeared to be a migrating (?) group. They flew west into a stand of mostly pine forest before I left the area. Will add pix later if I have anything on my camera.
