Common Redpoll Photos

Photography by Terry Sohl

My Favorite: Common Redpolls are a quite uncommon visitor in our part of South Dakota. Over the years you can count on one hand the number of winters where we've had them visit, and for a couple of those visits, they were only around for a day or two. We've had a couple of winters though where they've been around for much of the winter, including one great winter in early 2013 where we also had a couple of ultra-rare Hoary Redpolls in our yard. My favorite photo is from that winter, of one sitting in some snow on our deck rail.
