They're finally here!
December 26th, 2010
Today at the Shirley's Bay feeders, a sight I've eagerly awaited: a flock of redpolls!. It's a sight I hadn't enjoyed since February of 2009, since they didn't come south last winter. With them, some American Tree Sparrows, some goldfinches, other common birds, a female Pileated Woodpecker, and a great teeming gaggle of nature photographers. Passing overhead, large flocks of Bohemian Waxwings--wish fulfillment number two.
Sometime in the next few days I'm going back there with the camera and join the gaggle. Of course, with any luck, the redpolls will soon find their way to my own little nyjer feeder at Hurdman so I don't have to go across town to photograph them.
