Today I saw a flock of nearly 100 redpolls feeding in birch trees in my
neighborhood. The flock was constantly moving from tree to tree and spooking
every time a vehicle came along, so it was difficult to count them or check
each one. There was one very white bird that could be a Hoary. It had no
visible streaking on the undertail or flanks and from what I could see of the
back the ground color was also very pale. I was unable to see the rump to
positively say it was a Hoary. I will try again tomorrow. Hopefully the
lighting will be better.
The birds were moving up and down Muirfield Road between Lindfield Rd. and
Brimley Court.
