Are all the good birds in St. Jo today? I've seen Redpolls only
once...but the "once" lasted about a month. Up at my folk's house in
Rockford, we had a platform on the kitchen window...and these strange
birds showed up. I had to look them up. They would stay on the feeder
while we ate 2-3 feet away (you could put your face up to the window).
What a fun sight!
Mom still remembers it 35 years later.
Bob :)
