Redpolls and house finches

There were 14 common redpolls in the Backyard Garden today, along with three lovely male cardinals, one female cardinal, many busy chickadees, and five house finches. In the Arboretum I could hear several pine siskins giving their funny but distinctive wheezy call. Too bad that they were not around during the Great Backyard Bird Count last week.

I had a flock of about 20 redpolls at my feeders today. First time this winter I have had more than 2 or 3 at a time, usually in a mixed flock of Goldfinches and House Finches. They are such pretty little birds.
