We saw a half-dozen redpolls the weekend Millie and Joel were up in Maine with us, which must have been in mid-January. We hadn’t seen any since up until yesterday morning.
Redpolls are little brown-gray finches with a dark red spot on their forehead. They spend the summers in Canada and sometimes, but not always, show up where we live sometime in the winter. We’ve had them in Newton only a very few times. There were around thirty on and under our feeders in Casco yesterday.
