Went to the Cancer Survivors Park to look for the Hoary Redpoll reported earlier in the week. Stayed as long as I could, which wasn't long due to the -7 temp and no sun (around 8 am). Nonetheless, found two flocks of bird, both very approachable. The first was mostly House Sparrows, but with 3 White-Throateds mixed in (1 adult, 2 juv.). The other flock was all redpolls--about 25 or so. I didn't know there were Commons here too, so the task was not as simple as I'd hoped for, but I attempted to sort through them to find an obvious Hoary. I didn't see any that were definitively Hoary to me, but there were 2 or 3 that were definitely contenders. I snapped as many pics as I could before my fingers completely went numb, and I'll have to figure out if I got one later once I sort through the photos.
