Hi, Found a male Hoary Redpoll at The Holden Arboretum in Kirtland this afternoon about 3:30 pm. The bird was found with Common Redpolls at Buckeye Bud's Birdseed Buffet, near Buttonbush Bog and other Buckeye Bud structures. The bird was obviously lighter than the Common Redpolls and I was able to see, unstreaked, snow white undertail coverts when it was up in a tree. When it visited a thistle feeder I saw both the short bill and snow white, unstreaked uppertail coverts. The bird came to the feeders as a part of a shift and remained in the area for about 20 minutes Haans Petruschke Kirtland ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
