Got one!


I had a common redpoll at our lower feeder today. Everyone in the Bird List has reported flocks of them all winter long. Today was our first. I also saw another new bird, perhaps a white-throated, tan striped, sparrow. I definitely had the white throat, but I'm not sure of the rest of the id.
Goldfinches seem to be turning more gold as our days get longer. There were some that never seemed to lose some yellow feathers even in on Dec 21, but more of them now seem to be mottled.
