The number of red polls at our feeders has dwindled. We have had red polls
consistently since mid-Feb, with a peak number of 80-100. This past weekend we
had 20-30, then 12-15 for a couple of days, yesterday 1 and so far none today.
The goldfinches are gone too.

They were about 1/4 mile down from the corner of Tucker and Aiken Roads, on the
east side of Tucker, feeding in the brush and vegetation alongside the road.
Very easy to see! Great!

with multiple redpolls and no goldfinch.

I can "finally" join the "redpolls finally" club, as a flock of 10 or so
descended on my paltry feeders in Northeast Ithaca. I've had none in my yard so
far and none downtown on the CBC on the 1st -- they seem to finally be entering
the more urban areas. My birds sampled the black oil sunflower
They're eating black oil sunflower seed too, but they spill a lot of that on
the ground, possibly through rummaging for the smallest seeds.
I expect the standard sanitization advice is still to wash feeders thoroughly
with a 10% bleach solution once a week, paying special attention to crevices
I find it interesting that they eat Niger seed at your house and Sally's. At
mine they eat black oilseed, even though Niger is a choice. I only see
Goldfinches and House Finches on the Niger. Years ago when I had Redpolls,
they ate the Niger seed.

Redpolls have been audible around my place for weeks, but it took a good
snowstorm to drive them to the feeders. Had as many as 20 at a time since then.
