At last, redpolls! Common redpolls....

I glanced out at the feeders  in front of my house, and found that a
small
flock of redpolls had suddenly descended on the various thistle tubes
and
platform feeders.

There was one lone pine siskin feeding along with eighteen
redpolls.

Gee.  I was pretty happy to have bluebirds as daily visitors this year,
but redpolls are a bird I've been waiting to see here for over fifteen
years.

Yardbird 161 or so. I need to go update my yard list.
