I had another Hoary Redpoll, different I believe, from the one I had at my
feeder earlier in the winter. Among the regular 60 redpolls at my feeder in
Waugh's River, Colchester County, this bird stood out at a distance to the
naked eye. It had very extensive white on the wing coverts and secondaries.
With binoculars I could see it was a female, had much pale edging on the
back, and almost no streaking whatsoever on the underparts and flanks. I
believe this to be a female of the Hornemann's (Greenland) population. It
appears not to have stayed very long.

About 30 American Goldfinches, an equal number of Evening Grosbeaks, and 5
or 6 Red Crossbills are the other finches still present.
