Common Redpoll Love-fest

Thanks! I wish those males would show up.

Now Burn, where ARE you? I KNOW you have some pictures to share!

Two more from yesterday. I'm sorry to say that I have not seen any today :(

Chatty girl!

Oh I love the first one Marna!

Isn't she cute? I love how their beaks are so pointy like the pine siskins.

Dang that is a cutie!

Aw...those are sooo cute!

Ours was a no show today. :0( ...maybe tomorrow....

Mine too (no show). sigh.

ROTFLOL, Had to make you all suffer a bit.......... Actually Nanny, watch real close some might be on their way. It's costing me an Arm and a Leg, to feed them. So am shipping some down. Anyone else wants some?

Cute sweet birdies Marna, and Rose.

I still have too much.

These 2 pics are just a small portion.

Ok, I'll be nice now and won't torture you guys anymore.
I have the white ones too.

WOW..that's a lot of redpolls!!!!

Oh a Hoary....YES!!!!!!

Drool!

Thanks for finally posting.

Actually I only found this thread tonight. Have quite a bit of Hoary this year. some are much whiter, than others. others I can only tell by the less streaking and the white rump, or the white under tail.
When the sun shines on their red patch, it's a red metallic shine, very pretty.

This Common Redpoll has a lot of red on his chest.

Wow, that is one rosy fellah!

It's like you are the holy mecca of redpolls up there Burn!!

Well mine were a no show today too. Maybe they went further south.

Great shot's burn! I'll take some. :-)

Looks like she's got enough for everyone!

That shot of the tube/mesh feeder reminds me of those roosting monarch butterflies!

I've got one hanging with with the pine siskins that are here. only got 1 good shot

Burn and Evie....I am drooling here! I think I saw my guy about an hour ago but by the time I got the camera focused it was gone!! Whinnnnnne!! And yes I'd like some cheese with that whine please! LOL!

Congrats evie!

Burn, if you're shipping some out I'll take a dozen! hehehe

Great shots everyone. They are adorable little birds. I'm keeping a hopeful eye on my thistle sock. :)

Melanie

Thanks for your comments, for that I'm sending each one of you some. Get your Binoculars out and Cameras with big lens ready.
Expect shipment in the next few days.
PS: I didn't receive anyone addy, So sending them to each state mentioned. IN, NJ, VT, MO, IL, PA, CA. and Perth Aus. Margaret, you will have to provide a cold aviary for them. Did I miss anyone? Expect some delays, remember they have to go through custom, hope they don't get confiscated. :)

Marna and Rose,and Evie, did you see your today?

They had real nice expressions today.

Thanks, Burn. I'll organize to have the entire yard air-conditioned. (I wish). That's a lovely shot of the one on the poshest feeder in town.

Burn... I'm in the addy exchange!!! LOL

Thanks Burn!

I didn't see any yesterday because I was out of town. I DID get them a new screen feeder (as I had promised).

Mrs_Ed, would love to see pics of the new screen feeder when you get it up. I'm not sure what one of those looks like.

Melanie

Melanie,

Your wish is my command!

Probably did not call this by the right name. It is a tube feeder with screen as the sides.

Thank you Mrs_Ed.

Makes perfect to me to call it a screen feeder. Kind of the same idea as the sock but reusable. I like it. :) Can't wait to see all the pretty common redpolls on it! :)

Melanie

All welcome.Thanks Margaret, I do like my feeder and so does the birds.:))

Marna, I like that feeder a lot too. Redpolls and Goldfinches will go crazy for it.
Sometimes I'm tempted to get a few more tube feeders, but I'm afraid to do so. it's going to be a full time job, keeping them filled everyday, and the cost of the seeds unbelievable. DH bought me a 50 lb bag of thistle seeds yesterday, not cheap !!! But cheaper per pound then bulk. Save $20, by buying it that way. He's hoping it's going to last for the rest of winter, and so do I. But don't think it will.
I sure hope those Redpolls arrives for you, so you can post some of your pics. I don't want to be the only one posting here.

If thought that feeder would do the trick I would buy one immediatedly!! I really like the tray at the bottom.

I saw the Redpoll yesterday 4 different times but unfortunately was not quick enough with the camera. The last try I went racing through the house with camera in hand and DH just says "red top?"...LOL!! When I am on a quest he knows to just ask questions that can be answered in a hurried yes or no! I have not spotted the Redpoll today but had a Pine Siskin show up so that was a nice surprise!

Burn, Burn, Burn...the number of Redpolls (Not to mention Grosbeaks) continues to amaze!! I just love those last two shots...they are just adorable and they posed perfectly for you showing off their cuteness! I am patiently waiting for my shipment from you! Keep on posting if they don't arrive...at least it helps to get a Redpoll fix!!

I love my feeder like that one...I may buy another one.

thanks everyone. They had a HUGE one too that was so big that I know would have been appropriate for Burn's RED TOPS. LOL.

This feeder was only 12$.

Good price!!!
Yeah the big one is what I need :))

On top of the roof.

Here's the big one… it's a combo feeder. Now that I look at it, I'm not sure if the mesh on this one is just for clinging or is large enough to allow nyjer through.

I finally saw the little guy yesterday afternoon...here is a shot of him. I still haven't been able to get anything but a window shot...grrrrr!!

He showed up today too...he is so handsome!!

Nice shots Rose! They are so sweet looking. I don't have them here but I know their in the northern part of the state.

Thanks Pelle...they are rare for this part of the state so keep your eyes peeled...one just may show up! I feel so lucky to have one!
