This afternoon a swirling flock of redpolls, that appeared to number =
about 75, moved into our backyard and surrounded our feeders. As we =
scanned the flock I said we should look for a hoary redpoll. My wife =
spotted one and then we watched as clearly two and possibly a third =
hoary redpoll fed in the open for perhaps 10 minutes or more. They were =
larger and whiter at the lower back, and essentially totally white under =
the tail and lower sides - but I couldn't comment on bill size as they =
moved constantly.
