Hi,

Rather oddly, there are plenty of Redpolls around here too, but most are in
flocks by the roadside, or heard flying over. I have frequently heard them
flying over our own property, but very few have visited the feeders - even
the nijer seed. When I went to Middleton via Margaretstville the other day,
there was a big flock along a back road in the middle of nowhere, but
another big flock at a feeder about 2km. farther along. No Hoaries though!
