Drove up to Lily Lake this morning to check for the redpolls. Stopped briefly at what is left of Lake Estes (little variety): Canada Goose 120 Mallard 126 Ring-billed Gull 1 Black-billed Magpie 1 American Crow 21 Common Raven 1
Lily Lake produced no redpolls in about 1.5 hours of looking. Mountain Chickadee 4 Pygmy Nuthatch 15 Brown Creeper 2 Stopped at Fawn Brook Inn where I was quickly greeted by a Common Redpoll at the feeders. There appeared to be at least two present, though only one appeared at a time. They were skittish, but eventually I was able to approach one at about 12 feet.
