Title: Redpolls
Post by: Reuven_M on January 30, 2011, 09:58:40 PM

Well, its almost february and I still haven't managed to find any. Anyone know anywhere where they are being seen regularly in Mississauga? (or Oakville, near parts of Etobicoke?)

Title: Redpoles seen at Jack Darling park

This is probably late for your reply but I have see 15-20 Redpoles on a regular basis at Jack Darling park in Mississauga. They usually hang around the bridge area between Jack Darling park and Rattray marsh. I was there on Sunday Feb 13th and lots still around.

Thanks, I actually found some there a while ago (although closer to 40 or 50 than 15-20, and including at least one hoary):

We saw about 30 or so in the spot mentioned above on Saturday the 12th...  mind you, some Gold Finches were in the mix (I heard them) but every visual I focused on was a Redpoll.  As for Common or Hoary, I'm going with Commons...  tried to get some pics to look at them over the computer, but they all look like Commons to me (even though I am not 100% on what to look for other than a smaller beak).
