HOARY REDPOLL: Steve Jones of LaRue reported his redpoll at his feeders

LaRue turn on to Front Street from Market street.  Go across RR tracks, and
it will be the 4th house on right...It's the only green house on the street
I think so you should have no problem finding it.² The bird has been off and
on 7:30-3:30.
