after 8 years of waiting we finally have had redpolls at our feeders for
the past couple of weeks--30+ at times.
This morning there was one that was distinctly whiter, very light
streaking on sides as compared to the others.
pure white breast and rump as far as I could see. couldn't see bill size
difference.
how unlikely is a hoary in hennepin county near wayzata?
in case I see it again, what should I look for to be confident either
way?=20
given the descriptions/pictures in Kaufmann, Sibley, Peterson, Golden,
and NG (we checked 'em all while watching the bird) it sure could have
been a hoary.
what makes a "classic" hoary redpoll as some have described?
thanks for your help.
