Dear VA birders,
I was walking around the lake at Woodmar Farms in Loudoun county when I
came across a large group of birds consisting of house finch, purple finch,
a solitary sisking, and while I was panning through the massive flock of
birds I noticed a different looking finch behind a lot of brush. I waited
until it came to the front where I could clearly see it was a Common
Redpoll. I ran back to my house grabbed my camera and was able to take some
photographs of this great bird.

The bird was found on the dam side of the lake at 8:45 am on 1/27/14. The
common redpoll spends most of it's time in the large section of bramble
near the largest cove on the dam side of the lake. I have also seen it fly
to a nearby feeder in someones backyard.
Good birding,
Daniel Carrier
