Redpoll

So many Redpolls we've had this Winter, and so many hundreds of shots I tried, I had to get at least a few good ones. This was one of my better efforts. That pale sun struggling through the clouds in the background doesn't hurt it either. Now I have to do some editing. I've run out of...

Bindi

This year we had a major eruption of Redpolls - massive flocks of Common Redpolls, with the occasional Hoary among them (and all the birders here made a point of counting those while they still count ;) ). First time they appeared in the garden, I was thrilled. It can be years between the times...

SF story 1: Whatcha lookin' at me for?

Oh dear! That external hard drive I almost lost ... now it's collapsed :S I have to take it to the shop tomorrow and see if they can recover my files. Yikes! Luckily I got some nice SF shots yesterday, so interrupting my Kruger saga (which I may be able to finish by downloading my own shots...

Redpoll lad

I had the pleasure this morning of watching and listening to this young lad sing to at least 4 lassies while a couple of greenfinch looked on with perhaps some puzzlement.

Redpoll visit

These things had been as numerous here as pigeons in a park. But they seemed to have moved on and I haven't seen many for a week or more now. Today a couple of them dropped by for breakfast. Managed to snag a photo of one before they left.

Common Redpoll

One more quick post and then I have to get moving. Heading out to do some landscapes, old barns and whatnot, while the snow is fresh for a project I am working on. Already late and missed some good light this am. Will spend some time catching up on my comments later. For a long time this winter...

Common Redpoll

Posting some backyard birds in the snow today. This one is my lone Common Redpoll. In other winters when I have had these visitors from the north I have always had a small flock but this year I only have the one coming to the feeders. It seems to be hanging out with the group of House Finches...

Pretty close

I have a feeder in my yard that hangs just below eye level, makes it easy to check and fill it. I was tending the feeders when I bumped my head on this one. I looked at it and this redpoll female calmly looked back at me totally unfazed and just kept munching away. It was well within arm's...

Redpoll in the snow

After the first redpoll came, 4 or 5 others showed up. They seemed very relaxed, and didn't retreat far when I took seeds out. This one sat on this spot munching seeds for a long time as well. Maybe they were tired and hungry from battling the storm and didn't want to expend any more energy than...

Having a relaxing lunch

In the middle of the blizzard yesterday, this common redpoll came for a bite. He hunkered down in this feeder and rode out the storm for about half an hour or more, just sitting in there , looking around and munching seeds. They call these guys "common" but they're a avery uncommon...

Through twigs

From my walk to the physical therapist's and back on Friday. Lots of bird life around the neighborhood, but mostly deep in the shrubs.

The more it goes (tiddelipom) on snowing

4:59 pm. About an inch of snow on the feeder now, including on the seed tray at its base. Snow is coming down harder, still blowing in sideways, and the redpoll is looking rather dejected. Not much I can do to help aside from providing calorie-rich seeds and shrubs that might offer cover. It was...
