Finally, we have a small flock of Redpolls coming to our feeders! FIrst it was 2 or 3 every other day or so, for about 15 minutes each day over the last 2 weeks. Then they discovered the one niger seed sock feeder that has been up there since fall. Yesterday, there were about 5 on that sock so I rushed out to buy two mesh niger feeders and more seed and today there are about 20 on and off all day. Fun! I've also seen them eating suet. They mostly ignore the sunflower seeds now. At times there are 8 or more squeezing onto each of the mesh feeders, and on the sock! This is all happening on Hunt Hill Road, 7 miles east of Ithaca (town of Dryden).
Now, where are those Evening Grosbeaks.........
