We have had a flock of about 20 Common Redpolls at our feeders every day for at least the last week. We also have witnessed nearly daily visits from a Northern Shrike, preying on our feeder birds, usually juncos. This morning, the shrike was successful in catching a redpoll, taking advantage of the distraction of howling wind. It flew off down into the valley below our house to enjoy its meal.
