RedPolls???? Where are they? (pics included)

[Tom Wilson]

Last year at this time I had hundreds of Redpolls that would swarm my feeders all day long and they stayed until late March. I have yet to see one this year, and frankly, it depresses me. They were my favorite little seed eaters. Anyways, I dug up a couple of photos that I took last year to fill the void--thought I'd share them with you guys (and gals).

Tom, they'll be coming your way. We just got our first decent numbers a week or so ago (and only half a dozen a day, even now), so it'll be awhile before they trickle south to your tropics, I reckon.

Yup, redpolls indeed. Lots of redpolls.
