A small brown and white bird with a red patch on its crown is perched on a branch. The bird has a bright pink wash on his breast. There are snow-covered trees in the background. The bird is a Common Redpoll, a finch that breeds to our north and moves south into our area for the winter. The Common Redpoll is an irruptive migrant, which moves into our region if food supplies are limited on their breeding grounds.
For the Alt #BirdOfTheDay theme #Finches, I offer this #CommonRedpoll, fluffed up against the winter chill. wildadirondacks.org/adirondack-w...
