I've posted pictures of the Common Redpoll in Hohenwald, Lewis  
County, here:

bird.html

Anyone interested in trying to see this bird:

My mother's house is on South Walnut Street, right near "downtown."   
If you are coming in to Hohenwald from the west on Highway 412 (i.e  
from Linden, Memphis, etc.) Walnut Street is the first traffic light,  
and you will turn right.  If you are coming in from the east (from  
Columbia, Nashville etc.) you go through downtown and west on Main  
Street / Highway 412.  Walnut street is four blocks west of the  
highway 48 crossing.  You will see a Regents Bank on the right just  
past the light at Walnut.  Turn left = south onto Walnut.  Her house  
is on the left, number 313, with the house number on a stake in the  
yard near the street beside a whiskey barrel planter.  The driveway  
is just past the planter, you can actually park in the driveway and  
use the car as a blind if you want.  I saw the bird frequenting the  
feeder hanging just at the far end of the carport, and in the large  
wisteria tangle to its left.  It also flew off eastwards several  
times, and disappeared for 15-20 minutes at a time.  It was  
associating with the goldfinches and house finches, of course.  Mom  
says there's no need to call first; her name is Betsy Russell, by the  
way.

Good luck!  I'll be out of town for a few days so please post your  
results here if anyone makes a run for it.
