Today Jen Spallin and I enjoyed the continuing redpoll bonanza at the Hilda
Road feeders in west end Ottawa. Present this morning were:
Common Redpoll, flammea, several hundredCommon Redpoll, rostrata, 1 femaleHoary
Redpoll, exilipes, 4 female, 1 maleHoary Redpoll, hornnemanni, 1 female, 1 male
Diagnostic photographs were obtained of rostrata, exilipes and hornemanni. This
is the best assemblage of redpolls I have witnessed but will likely end in the
next few weeks as the snow recedes. The feeders are located on Hilda Road off
Range Road (from Highway 417 head north on Moodie Drive, west on Carling, turn
north on Range Rd, Hilda is the first road on your right).
