Dear Birders,

Here is a summary of Common Redpoll sightings to date this fall,
mainly from BCINTBIRD and TWEETERS:

BRITISH COLUMBIA

Nov. 1-- flock (number?), Shingle Creek, W of Penticton, Dick Cannings
et al.
Nov. 1 to 13-- "hundreds" (up to 600), Upper Hat Creek (W of Cache
Creek), Peter McAllister
Nov. 7-- 1, Lac Le Jeune, S of Kamloops, Wayne Weber, Andy Raniseth

Howard Ferguson
Nov. 16-- 12, Spokane, observer? (fide Joanne Powell)

Nov. 17-- 60, Miles-Creston Road, W of Spokane, Cindy McCormack

OREGON

Nov. 7-- 1, Joseph (Wallowa Co.), Frank Conley

So far, I don't recall any N Idaho sightings, but perhaps I
overlooked something.

As Andy Stepniewski commented on TWEETERS and INLAND-NW-BIRDERS,
it will be interesting to see how far south Redpolls get this winter,
and in what numbers. I am hoping for a Hoary Redpoll somewhere, which
would be a life bird for me.

Happy "finching"!
