(archive photos of the week here)
A month ago, we had 3 surprise visitors in our yard, when 3 Common Redpolls showed up at our thistle/niger feeder. I didn't get any good photos of them, but didn't think much of it. It was the very start of the cold weather, and if Redpolls were already showing up, I figured they'd stay for much of the winter. WRONG!! I didn't see them again in our yard...until this week. I looked out our kitchen window, and to my surprise saw at least 20 foraging in a paper birch, right outside our kitchen window! They really love the catkins on the paper birch, as do other finch species. This time I did make sure to get many photos, including this one. Here's hoping this time they DO stay for much of the winter!
