Wow a great winter bird for sure!! Good luck to anyone chasing. 

Quick question is the Redpoll foraging with an American Goldfinch/ Pine Siskin 
Flock?

It will be interesting to see over the next few days if anymore nice winter 
bird species may be seen evading the winter storms. Winter weather can be a 
mixed blessing for sure.

As a reminder keep those seed, suet and thistle feeders full. You just never 
know!

Good Birding,
