Hello All,
The Redpolls continue to appear at my feeders on a daily basis. Since the recent warming trend, they are making an appearance in number around 830 - 900a. After that, their arrivals are more individualistic and sporadic. The original flock that arrived the weekend of Jan 12/13 had a number of orange-variants and I am seeing fewer of those and more of the red ones. This would indicate that there are more than the original 7 or 8 we first observed.
I would add that it is fine for birders to exit their vehicles at the curb, I just don't want unfamiliar vehicles pulling up into the driveway - that'll get my spouse's little dogs barking from the front window seat. It is okay to park in front of the driveway because the vantage point is kind of narrow. Also, I'll pass along a comment from one of my neighbors - he said there have been a lot of birders stopping by and one birder had set up a nice scope and very politely let him take a look - he was excited to see for the first time, birds in great detail, and greatly admired how beautiful they were. It is always nice to hear about someone else's "moment of discovery" and whoever this ambassador of the birds was deserves kudos.
