Ottawa - With no redpolls showing up this winter, I had to fall back on last winter's success.

Ottawa - The interesting thing about this bird is the noticeable eyering. Usually when present it is indistinct but this one stands out. Very good number of redpolls coming to feeders now.

Cornwall - Redpolls have been along roadsides feeding in weeds since December but it was only recently that they headed to feeders when heavy snow arrived. Update:. Christmas bird counts in Eastern Ontario did well with redpolls. Several had record numbers with the highest being over 750. Some feeders in the region are now seeing 30-75 birds coming in regularly.

Long Sault - Flocks of redpolls have been showing up along country roads in the last few weeks with birds actively feeding on weed seeds. Later in the winter, when snows cover more of their food, they should appear at feeders.

A few birds popped up in the parking lot when I did some pishing. Only second time I've ever seen this Eastern species.

Redpoll winter appearances depend largely on the availability of seeds in their habitat further north. When there is a shortage of food, they move south in what is called an irruptive movement. This usually happens every other year or so! When it happens, redpolls are a common visitor to bird feeders!
