On a short break from work this afternoon, I saw a single Redpoll mixed in with
a group of Dark-eyed Juncos in the open space along Summerhill Road in Colorado

The Redpoll was just at the thistle feeders in front of the house.

The Redpoll was here when I put out the feeders at 7:30 after chasing the

I don't find it amusing that birders are NOT chasing off the elk when they
