I may just have been inattentive, but I don't recall actually seeing "Sibley Scores" posted here for any local Hoary Redpolls, so I'm curious to know if anyone is using this 3-character index (described at the link below), or for that matter using any other standardized method of separating Hoary from Common Redpolls in the field?
