At times though the flock will feed away by themselves . Cheers , DB -----Original Message----- From: naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca [mailto:naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca]On Behalf Of Gayle MacLean Sent: Sunday, January 20, 2008 1:27 PM To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca Subject: Re: [NatureNS] redpolls' range Hi Jane, The flock of Redpolls that I have been frequenting my backyard feeders since before Christmas here on Glenwood Ave, which borders onto the green-belt that separates ours from the backyards of Celtic, are here all the time. On my days off, I have noticed this flock does seem to vary in size sometimes, throughout the day, anywhere from a few to sometimes, at least 30 - 50, maybe more, depending on the time of day. Mind you, this is a very unscientific observation on my part.

We had a flock of redpolls that numbered over 100 at times, until a couple of weeks ago. Now there are only about 25-30. Did the rest of them go down to Seabright? I haven't heard anyone in Dartmouth reporting a sudden increase in their flock. I'd figured that the Celtic ave. flock must be the same birds that we were getting here on Tulip street, maybe a kilometer from Celtic; but a serious birder told me that was likely a different flock!?? Anyone have the time to chime in on this? Thanks.
