A bit of excitement has been

traveling thru the birding

community since yesterday when

a Common Redpoll was reported 

coming to a feeder in Tazewell 

County, VA at the town of Tazewell.

 

Several photos of the bird had

been secured by late afternoon

today (Tuesday) 11 March 2015.

 

It appears to clearly be a

House Finch.  I have copies of

the photos.

 

With a chance that a redpoll is

actually coming to the feeder, 

we'll leave the door open for any

possibility that the wrong bird

was photographed.  However, it

now appears to be a missed ID and

that will probably stand as final.
