Hello all, Here's a great link to the best photos I've ever seen showing the 4 North American Redpoll subspecies (2 Common and 2 Hoary). Take notice of the very large Greater Common Redpoll. I've seen at least a good 6- 7 of these in CNY over the years. They stick out. They all aren't quite this large, but the large size is something to key into. They are often intermediate in size between a nominate Common Redpoll and a House Finch.
Thanks to Dave Wheeler for emailing this link to me. cheers, Matt Young -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web LIVE – Free email based on Microsoft® Exchange technology - http://link.mail2web.com/LIVE -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
