Hi folks--

I was just chuckling to myself last night at the thought that the redpolls
ought to return...

Was idly eyeing our feeders this morning when one of them popped up. Only
one.

My personal, very unexpert opinion is that it was a Hoary or close to it:
very white face & body with no pink on body that I could discern; high
contrast black & white wings, and "eyestripe;" of course tiny bill, and
brilliant red cap.

But having forgotten the finer points of the distinction between Common &
Hoary, I'll need another look before reporting to Ebird or the CObirder
community. I put up the scope but the bird is not reappearing yet.
