Redpolls continue at 11:15 at ivy covered tree by the square arch over the
riverside bike path just SE of the small plaza by the EWEB building.

Had a great start to the new year with a pair of COMMON REDPOLLS feeding on
alder cones along the Willamette River in Eugene this morning, originally
found by Diane Horgan and her team yesterday on the Eugene CBC.

The redpolls were feeding on the cones of a large alder covered in ivy, just
south of the River Edge Public Plaza (with fountain and EWEB building). Exact
location here: https://goo.gl/maps/PQHzw19hRbs
They were virtually silent the whole time, and fed close together in the
alder, but were very cooperative. There are quite a number of alders along
this 150 m stretch of the bike path, so I would bet they'll be findable there
for at least a day or two. That is, if the MERLIN I biked past hunting just
to the north doesn't get them first!
Happy 2018!
