I flushed a flock of about 30 redpolls at Tamarack Nature Center this afternoon, 3:15, feeding in the birches by the dock on north side of Tamarack Lake. I had no binoculars but the calls were distinctive, and I could see the red foreheads, dark around the bill and light streaking on the flanks. The birds were very pale, no red on breasts, but without binocs I assume they were common redpolls.
