This morning in the blowing snow, a petite male Hoary Redpoll joined about 35 Commons at
our feeders. This was a different bird from the one I reported earlier in the week and fitted
the more common Hoary subspecies exilipes very nicely. Coincidentally, we had a similar
bird at our feeders exactly five years ago, on Feb. 9, 2008, during the last big Redpoll year.
So far the Common Redpolls are relatively small, uniform-sized, and only moderately
streaked - no sign of the larger far northern subspecies rostrata so far. My only record of
rostrata here was also on Feb. 9, 2008.
