    Named for the red spot on its head, this is a female. At the time it was called "Common Redpoll, but in July the 65th supplement of the AOS Check-List changed it to just "Redpoll." They lumped the Hoary and Lesser Redpolls with the Common treating all of the redpolls as one species. Decision was...

    There were good numbers of these smart little "northern" visiting these public feeders during a rare winter family visit to Ottawa. Although the same species occurs in Europe they rarely get as bright and well marked as some in North America (this individual was particularly eye-catching).

    This was the winter we had record numbers of Bramblings but almost no Redpolls. I did see a couple of Redpolls at the cabin, though. Once.

    A bif flock of Eurasian siskins have been at the feeder all day because of a snowstorm. There was a suddenly flash of red in the window. Quickly grabbing the camera, I managed to photograph this beautiful redpoll in the garden.

    SF - What?

    Just because we're *drinking* under the table, doesn't mean we've drunk ourselves under the table! Greenfinches and Redpoll drinking and bathing in a puddle under a picnic table. Wasn't much light under there, and I wasn't quick enough to shift the exposure from what I'd had for the bathing Blue...

    We pretty much only see these in Winter. Not so many this year as in other recent winters. Hopefully just one of those random population swings ...?

    Had four drop in yesterday. They all landed on a muddy patch of the melting yard and started grazing there. They didn't seemed too concerned with me and let me get relatively close.

    Had two Redpolls on our Birdbath late afternoon yesterday. One flew off before I could get my camera ready. New Garden Tick. Distant shot. TTW.
