three of us regular headlands birders enjoyed a group of about 200 common redpolls, some dozen or so pine siskins, and 200+ american robins along the lakefront trail at mentor lagoons just past the cart turnaround and bench at mid-morning today, 12/10/2007.  the redpolls were feeding in the trees, in bushes at eye-level, and below eye-level on the slope leading to the beach.  our observation lasted approximately 20 minutes after which the redpolls departed.

neither the red-throated loon nor the purple sandpiper, reported from headlands beach on 12/09/2007, was relocated earlier in the morning.
