Redpolls

[eyeguy 54]

Just had a bunch swing thru. Sure wish they would stay a while but rare that they do.

maybe they dont like the type of music your band plays out back??????

 

cool pics!!!!!!! we get them now and then too!!!!!!!!!

If you have a thistle feeder they will hang around much longer. I have a flock of 30-40 that come in most everyday with a mix of Pine Siskins and a few Goldfinches thrown in.

Rarely see ssiskens or redpolls here even with thistle out.

I wish I could send you the ones I have here. It looks like they are mean to the other finch's.

I get home from work around 3pm  and there is 10 to 15 of them until dark.

They will be heading north as it warms up.

I don't believe them fellers come this far south. We have them at the cabin if we are up there enough in the winter to consistently feed the birds

They really like the finch socks, but ever since I switched from black oil sunflower seeds to the hearts/chips, they’ve really been going nuts at the feeders.

[JBMasterAngler]

When do the redpolls start showing up? Haven’t had any yet. I don’t recall when they showed up last year, just that they stayed well into April.

[fishingstar]

It has to get colder maybe January.

[JBMasterAngler]

Well, they finally showed up today! And it didn’t take them long to go through 2 tube feeders of sunflower chips. That’s what all my extra money will be spent on for the next coup weeks.

That's quite an impressive photo you got there. Give us more when they come back.

I might have to put some chips out for fun. Got a new meal worm feeder and its a big hit. Saw 2 redpolls yesturday. 

[eyeguy 54]

I had one of what looked like one of them redpolls, this one had a really noticiable red head and red throat????? wasn't real sure what it was.
