Along the river path, just south of the wig-wam frame that someone has constructed, there was a small flock of redpolls sunning in the top of a spruce. I say "sunning" because there was no feeding activity in evidence, just a vocalizing soft enough that it might have been missed, had I not stopped to examine a nest structure I'd never noticed before. Luckily the wind paused long enough for the sound to be detected then, and followed to the source. Unfortunately, the birds were pretty well-concealed and apparently not very mobile; all I got to see was a flash of white when at least 4 of them took off across the river toward the tip of Pike Island Linda Whyte
