At long last I've had Redpolls in my yard today :)    They took over a nyjer
feeder right after  I filled it, forcing the  Goldfinches to use the other 2.
There were at least 6.  Saw 5 at 1  time on the feeder perches and another on
the ground under it, all at 1  time.  Despite seeing them once before i
didn't realize they are so  loud!  Could hear them from 75 feet away.
Also had at least 1 Pine Siskin today.  I've had a few  sporadically but this
was the 1st in about a month.  It was coming to my  back porch platform
feeder along with Goldfinches and House  Finches.
