Glad to Bill. I was able to find a Redpoll (same one?) today in the same
tree and definitely believe it to be a Common.

I was able to locate three redpolls today at Blandy. I believe that they
are commons. Attached are a few photos. Two of the birds were rather dark
-- the third was much lighter -- all three were heavily streaked. Their
red foreheads were pretty easy to pick out. They were by the parking lot
near the weather tower. I saw them first thing this morning -- just as the
sun was coming up.
Thanks for reporting them yesterday.

Subject: [Va-bird] Redpoll at Blandy (but no crossbills)
I birded at Blandy from 3 to 5pm today. Thanks to a couple of birders I
came across who had found the bird, I saw a Redpoll today at Blandy in
of the conifers east of the pavilion at Rattlesnake Spring. My view was abe
brief look with only the head visible through a scope but it appeared to
a Common.and,
Other birds of interest: there were 6-8 Pine Siskins at the feeders near
the main parking lot and Red-breasted Nuthatches in good numbers all over
the property.
No luck on the crossbills for me. I checked both south of the quarters
as mentioned, east of the pavilion.of Ornithology. Please consider joining the VSO.
