Marie's redpoll flock on Mount Pleasant continues to grow, with over 150
individuals now present, including a female HOARY REDPOLL found yesterday
by Sarah Toner and Logan Kahle. I saw it for a few minutes first thing this
morning in a part of the group close to the road before they started to
drift farther south. The Snow Bunting flock that is often associated with
the redpolls now numbers around 275 birds, with a handful of Horned Larks
and a couple (as many as 5 reports) LAPLAND LONGSPURS around the edges.
This is all along the slope at the east end of Mount Pleasant Road.
