The redpolls may still be in the area but on the ground. I've seen a couple of brief swirls of small, light-colored birds in tall grasses near the trees where I first saw them. I'm not sure there are any good vantage points to view this area, and they aren't flushing much, but perhaps they will shift to some of the other fields in the area that are closer to roads.

They stayed long enough for me to get a rough count but not long enough for me to search for any Hoarys. They disappeared when I looked away, so I don't know which way they went, but my guess is north. They came in from the southwest. They didn't come down to the nearby feeders, so they may just be passing through.
