Hello Tweeters,
I wonder if any birders what was there today on Foster and Marsh Island
trying to find the Hoary Redpoll ever saw this species.I had one comment
from one birder:If you see the Hoary you know this is the real Hoary and not
trying to make a pale common in to one.Also:"Look for a bird bright as the
Snowbunting".I wish i took this real photos what i got right in front of me
nowin to the field.This a photographed in Yukon by Cameron Eckert.This birds
locking so white and pale,reminding me of the little Snowbunting with a
black shin and red top realy stands out.All Photos showed the white rump
standing feeding.If any of you birderes would saw this photos,there was not
the slightest chance there was this bird sighted when we was looking
today.One can not going by bird books i believe that real photos are more
correct.
