Common Redpoll (Carduelis flammea)

1/11/2014

Irruptive migrant. Common Redpolls move south irregularly in winter following patterns in the food supply.  I had many during the winter 2012-2013 but nothing this season.

Cool Fact - Common Redpolls can survive temperatures of –65 degrees Fahrenheit.  A study in Alaska found Redpolls put on about 31 percent more plumage by weight in November than they did in July.
