Well a walk this afternoon up to the redpoll hotspot forces me to revise my flock size count...there were about 150 Common Redpolls up there around 2:15. (Last I saw, they were making plans to be in Area III next Tuesday despite what Bob McGuire says!!!)

Read [m...@cornell.edu] Sent: Saturday, December 29, 2018 12:39 PM To: CAYUGABIRDS-L Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Mt Pleasant redpolls still there (but fewer) In preparation for the Christmas Bird Count next week I’ve been keeping an eye out for the Common Redpolls on Mt Pleasant Rd. This morning I saw them twice: about 10:15 and just now about 12:10. They are more difficult to see with no snow. Two days ago I estimated 50, but today only about 25, down from 150 or so in recent weeks Why aren’t the others showing up at our feeders?!!
