We've have a flock of ~ 50 redpolls who stayed all winter, and are still
here today.  (Spent a fortune on niger.)  They are an impressive mass!  And
I have every color phase-was trying to pick out the hoarys all winter (there
were at least three,... I think).  I was marvelling at the diversity of
colorations.  That recent article brought to our attention by Nancy and
posted on Cornell was much appreciated.  I am happy with the 'lumping'
approach, solidly backed by genetics!   

I wonder which day they will decide to abandon us...

We had large numbers of Goldfinches & redpolls (along with lesser numbers of
Siskins & Juncos) at our feeders this morning when the snow covered the
branches but they lost interest as the melt started.
