[cayugabirds-l] Abominable Snow Monsters
Hello all, Along with 1 ssp. exilipes Hoary Redpoll, 2 Abominable Snow Monsters (ssp. hornemanni Hoary Redpolls) were back again at the feeders in Cortland this morning -- seen now Sunday, Monday and this morning; looked to be the same birds. Redpoll flock has grown to about 60 birds. One hornemanni is slightly bigger than the other and both have a buff wash to face -- buff extends to upper flanks on one bird. Other than a couple sparse gray smudge lines on flanks, the presumed male (I only see a very slight hint of rose in very upper breast at exactly the right angle) is basically streakless on rump, undertail and flanks. The slightly smaller bird has a couple more sparse gray smudge lines and one very very thin and short undertail streak.rump as white as snow on both. Back on both birds is a gray white unlike the brown-gray (which gives the frosty look) backs we see on most exilipes Hoaries. Forehead is steep and bill is deep -- noticeable different looking than the bills on ssp. flammea Common Redplls and ssp. exilipes Hoary Redpolls. The ssp. exilipes Hoary Redpoll is a female or immature male..rump white and relatively clean, 3 very thin undertail coverts, bill smaller, back is a brown-gray but whiter towards scapulars. Flank streaking wispy but not nearly as sparse, smudgy, or gray as the hornemanni birds -- this individual however is not as streaked as many ssp exilipes Hoaries that I see. I have not seen the ssp. rostrata Common Redpoll since Sunday. cheers, Matt mail2web.com - Microsoft® Exchange solutions from a leading provider - http://link.mail2web.com/Business/Exchange -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --

[cayugabirds-l] Hoary Redpolls, Sapsucker Woods
A probable female and a reported male HOARY REDPOLL are frequenting the north (and presumably south) feeders at the Lab of Ornithology at Sapsucker Woods today (and for a couple of days before this, apparently.) Also reportedly at least two Greater (rostrata) Common Redpolls.
