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.
