Common Redpoll


This has been a great winter for the dainty little Common Redpolls - lots of them about. They are frequent and often abundant winter visitors across all of Alberta, but some years see a lot more of them than others. Towards spring, redpolls leave for their arctic breeding grounds. Photographed this female at Carburn Park on January 28th. Not the easiest of birds to photograph, as they are either in flight or in constant motion while feeding on the seeds of the Water Birch. Love their little red foreheads.
