Hi all,

I have added and condensed all my redpoll images into this gallery for a comparsion. It may be nausea for some of you but I hope there is some educational value. I have been lucky to get somewhat decent photos and studies of one of my favorite wintering finches. It was fun to watch a large flock of they fly, swirl, and feed.

Image 200 of the common redpoll really shows the streaked undertail coverts. See if you can spot a hoary in the flock feeding on the road? Also, notice how far their legs are part when they are on the ground.

Good birding to you,
