Found the flock of redpolls on the north side of the Montlake Cut this
morning ~10am, in a birch tree right about here:
https://goo.gl/maps/VTRfHroQL9t. They flew across from the south side when
I first saw them, and after feeding for a while, flew back to the area that
Chris originally described. I got a photo of the flock in the air and
counted over 120!

Also, while biking in I noticed three California scrub-jays on Boat St,
