2012-12-03 Thread SeEtta Moss

This morning, I had a female Common Redpoll at my platform feeder and water feature. The bird came in for 40 minutes with 8-10 American Goldfinches. When the goldfinches departed she went with them. Hopefully she returns with a few males! Mark Chavez Lakewood-Green Mtn http://jaeger29.smug
