[cobirds] Common Redpoll in Estes Park (Larimer)

This morning and yesterday morning, I saw one Common Redpoll at Matthews-Reeser Sanctuary.  Both vocalized frequently, sounding similar to American Goldfinch or Pine Siskin.  Every time I've seen one perched (4 times) it was near the top of one of those reddish-brown bark bushes with red-brown catkins (lot of these along paved path).  This morning, I had a great view of a white bird with narrow stripes, red forehead above yellow beak with black chin and pink breast.  Yesterday's bird looked darker, lacking pink breast.  Maybe there are two, maybe it was poor light.
