Just viewed my first Common Redpoll of the season at my backyard neighbors thistle feeders. It was with a group of 30+ Pine Siskins and a few Goldfinches. I have not really watched or fed birds in my backyard for 2 weeks or more so i'm not sure how long the Redpoll has been here...Siskins have been around for 6 weeks or more. I got my feeders back up and running today, so hopefully I can pull the Redpoll to my yard for closer, non-binocular viewing soon. Also saw 2 Red-breasted Nuthatch, they've been here awhile as well.
