Just about anything's possible. I would consider it unlikely. I'm hosting about 300 maybe plus redpolls at my feeder. I've never seen a group of hoarys. I imagine I see up to a half dozen (light colored red polls) when there are 100+ (clouds) there at times. Evening grosbeaks seem to be avoiding these crowds but sneak in periodically. Pine grosbeaks are thinning out till next November. Saw first of year Canada goose today by Big falls and ran into my first flock (3) of boreal chickadees in 30 years of working in black spruce (legal descrip. 12-158-28). I did post a utube video of evening grosbeaks last Nov. It can be found by searching evening grosbeak and Minnesota if you want to see large numbers of them. Have a Great Week Tom Crumpton
