Hi Ontbirders:
Dropped by the Hilda Road feeders late today and see the number of redpolls
have increased to well over a dozen...perhaps even twenty birds. One of
them stood out from the rest. It had that "pushed in face" appearance,
undertail coverts look to be white, bit of a frosty appearance and
definitely stands out from all the other redpolls in the flock. It's been 2
years since I've seen a redpoll so I had to reacquaint myself.
On Sunday a flock of Bohemian Waxwings flew overhead at the same feeders.
Someone there mentioned a small flock flew over head today as well. Happy
birding.
Has that pushed in face appearance.

Directions:
In Ottawa, take Carling west to Rifle Road. Turn right on Rifle Road right
again at Lois. Left at Hilda to the feeders.
