Most years, we get a small flock of redpolls coming to the feeders in the winter. These birds come from the far north, the boreal and taiga regions. They like thistle and sunflower seeds. This year, they have been coming and going during the day. Other years, they park themselves at the feeder all day and decimate the thistle bags!

They are an extremely hardy bird. They can withstand very cold temperatures. I read somewhere that scientists have put them in a freezer to see how much cold they can take before freezing to death. Sounds very cruel to me. Maybe they should put the scientists in the freezer!

Thanks for stopping by. A retired educator, my main focus since retirement has been becoming more serious about photography. My wife and I live in northern Minnesota. Our favorite place to visit and photograph is Yellowstone National Park. My project for the past ten years has been photographing small birds in flight. The most frustrating endeavor I have ever attempted but also the most rewarding. Each day, it seems like a new problem has to be solved with this very difficult kind of photography!
