[cobirds] Fort Collins Museum of Discovery Hoary Redpoll


Today at around 3:45pm I had some good looks at a Hoary Redpoll. This individual was very pale and flew into the feeders where I was able to get great looks at its unstreaked undertail coverts. It also had very fine streaking on its sides. This individual was alone or at least I wasn't able to see other Redpolls in its vicinity at first but then intermingled with a flock of Common Redpolls that arrived a few minutes later. There was a second pale bird that I was able to pick out but was unable to get good looks. At around 4:10 pm the flock of Redpolls flew off into the infinite sky.
