Common Redpoll

[Napper]

Hey..

I spotted a Common Redpoll this evening at my feeders.

I thought that they had moved on.  Still Cool..  It was receptive to my imitated goldfinch call when they are near the feeder..

I still have about 6 common redpolls everyday and a few pine siskins mixed in with the goldfinches.

Apparently, my Redpolls never got the memo either

This shot doesn't include the 30 plus on the ground below  :shock:

P.S.  There's one renegade Goldfinch in there

I hadn't seen a Redpoll all day, and thought they had finally moved on, but late this afternoon, two showed up at the Nyger seed.  Does that mean it's still winter?  :shock:

There are lots of signs of spring at the feeders though:  Grackles doing contortions to get into the tube feeder and the Goldfinches are yellower every day.  Lots of Juncos and a few Song Sparrows are coming for spilled seed.

I think the Redpolls may finally have moved on.  I haven't seen one since last Sunday or Monday, and the niger seed has been moving very slowly all week.

On the bright side, a Hermit Thrush, a White-throated Sparrow, and a Fox Sparrow have joined the flock of Juncos eating spilled seed under my feeders.
