    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).

    Winter in the woods

    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...

    I just noticed when picking pics to post today that the Redpoll on the right is much paler and finer-streaked than those I usuall see. Have I caught an Arctic (aka Hoary) Redpoll without realizing it? Or is this just a paler Common? I don't dare list it as Hoary yet, but if you folks concur then...

    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.

    Had one come visit just before Christmas in Dec. Just one lone Redpoll in a flock of American Goldfinches. Don't see these birds very often. The last time in any numbers was an eruption in 2015.

    Common or hoary redpoll?

    Hello, I saw this bird in downtown Toronto today (Dec 13, 2020). It was with a flock of common redpolls so I assumed it was the same, but I was reviewing the photos and this bird seems paler and has a much less streaky sides, which makes me think maybe it is a hoary redpoll. I uploaded the photo...
