Hi Anne.
Great questions.
Don't know about redpolls but I just read today ( Sibley's "What Its Like
To Be A Bird") that with chickadees the birds, themselves, can tell make
from female because the black bib on the males fluoresce more deeply than
on the female.
Trouble is, THAT is something OUR
This winter my first- ever redpoll flock has been eating niger almost faster
than I can stock it. They do NOT like the fancy finch mix, their bill flips
have informed me.
So I have been looking at the wild differences in cap and breast and belly
colors. The caps are a distinctly more classic
all winter. It's a joy to see one nearly every

Sue and I ran into a huge flock of Redpolls Wednesday morning which we
estimate at 500 plus birds. Binos only so no chance to find a Hoary among
them. It was a wonderful site as they moved between the Cayuga Lake Basin

I spent time at the Mt. Pleasant East fields this morning most of the time with

Driving home just after noon today, as I approached my driveway, a group
of Redpolls flew up from the field on the north side of Mt. Pleasant

total. I got out to look at them. Quite a few flew back into the woods
further.
Today about 1:30, while walking the doggies, I first heard Redpolls in
the weedy field west of the road that goes back to the ATT tower. I
did see them flying around and they flew down into the weeds totally out
of sight. Did not have my binocs. When I returned, walking west down

We had a mockingbird in our orchard on South Hill today. It was having a
territorial dispute with a crow.
I dont recall seeing them in wintertime.

My flock of 3 grew to 15! I've been watching for them for weeks. I hope they
stay for a while.

I still have a flock of 10-40 redpolls visiting my feeders daily in Ithaca,
along with the usual throng of nuthatches, titmice, juncos, sparrows, Purple
and House finches, Goldfinches, chickadees, downies, hairies, redbellies,
crows, Red-wings, jays, cardinals, doves, etc. I thought the redpolls
I've also had a steady stream of Common Redpolls at my feeds for the past 3
weeks with flocks ranging from 10-60 birds. I have seen several possible
Hoarys among them, but as Laura so aptly described, they move about too
quickly for a positive ID. Redpolls on the tube feeds tend to linger longer,
Good morning,
Today we have a flock of 100 or so Redpolls at our feeders on Hunt Hill Rd.,
east of Ithaca. I think 100 is actually a conservative estimate. Boy, are they

HOARY REDPOLL and 1 Greater
Common Redpoll. Common Ravens have been heard in the last few days as well,
and the Carolina Wren,
White-throated Sparrow (rare for the house), Tree Sparrows (rare for the
house) and
Kevin and I journeyed up to Summerhill this morning, where we spent a
couple of hours watching the big redpoll flock at the feeders on Fire
Lane E on Lake Como Road. The flock is still big, at least 200 and
probably closer to 300 at times. The are pretty flighty, so we didn't
get much to time to
I have about 40 Redpolls hanging around my feeders now on a daily basis.
Yippee!!!
