As Brad mentioned earlier, there is a large (and typically skittish) flock of redpolls at the feeders at the Lab of Ornithology. Matt Young picked out at least one (a female), and possible a second (a male), "Greater" Common Redpoll (Acanthis flammea rostrata) from this group. Worth keeping an eye on these birds today.
