Greetings: So far we have had three responses by E-mail and one by phone. Thanks for the replies of those who responded. Another birder thought that person was joking and that an Arctic Repoll is unlikely. He said it sounds like a partial Albino Redpoll. We looked up the Artic Redpoll on Google, and it has a red cap with a white breast. Another birder said they have a Common Redpoll with a copper top. They also have had an American Goldfinch with a white top. The fourth birder was interested in our report and wants to be notified if it shows up again. The bird was seen on the ground and in the nearby ornamental apple tree. We live at Trails Edge apartment, 715 Central Avenue North. There is a parking lot on the west side of the apartment where you may park while looking for the birds. As you go around the north side of the apartment you come see a shelter where you can look for birds at the single feeder. There is also a suet feeder on tree east of the walking/biking trail where we see a Pileated Woodpecker from time to time and other woodpeckers, too. OR, as you go east from the parking lot, on north side of the apartment you can see the feeder east of the apartment. Forest and Kirsten Strnad Faribault, Mn.
