This is a rare wanderer from the West that was discovered inside a farm building. The shot was taken inside from 4 metres with the window as a backdrop. The bird had the right idea because it is a large heated structure with lots of windows that it checks for anything moving, like flies and spiders. We discovered that it gets in and out through a pet access door that has vertical plastic strips which can be easily pushed to the side. Smart bird. It may survive the winter.

Ingleside - This is the subspecies Greater Common Redpoll. The bird is a little larger, with heavier streaking on the underparts, browner above, more black in front of the eye and heavier bill. The bird breeds on Baffin Island and Greenland and appears in small numbers during major redpoll eruptions like the one we are enjoying this winter.

Cornwall - There has been a very strong southward movement of redpolls this winter. Thousands of birds have been in weedy fields and scrubby roadsides since early December but are now appearing at feeders, occasionally in large numbers.

It is always a treat to see these birds down south, away from their boreal environment.

A good way to start 2021 - with a lifer. Bonus that we didn't have an upload of this species either. Surrey, BC.
New Years resolutions 1) try to get out for photography even with the expanded family; 2) get Birdviewing 2.0 up and running :)
