[TN-Bird] Common Redpole - Yes 1/22

I arrived at Bill's Mother's house just before 8:00 this morning and waited 
patiently watching all the Gold Finches and House Finches at the many feeders, 
but did not see the Redpoll.  Clyde Blum from Chattanooga arrived about 11:00 
and came to my car window and I told him I had not seen the bird, and he 
immediately said there it is in the bush (too low for me to see from where I 
was).  I got out of the car and the bird was gone.
We took a lunch break around noon and arrived back to see Damien Siembeck there 
again; also Lorna West from South Alabama, along with Bill.  They had not seen 
the bird.  Clyde had to leave around 1:00 and Lorna also need to head back to 
Mobile.  See and I were just saying goodbye about 1:20 when I took one last 
time at the bush and there the Redpoll sat, surrounded by Goldfinches.  We had 
great looks before it left again without going to a feeder.  We both left very 
happy and glad that we had lingered just a little longer.

Thanks to Bill and his Mom for the hospitality and the great directions.
