[CT Birds] Redpoll ID

[Chris Elphick]

I'll leave others to respond to Paul's question about the frequency with which hoary redpolls occur in Connecticut, but some of you might be interested to know that David Sibley has recently posted some summary information on redpoll identification on his blog.  Read also the comments, as there are links to nice comparative photos showing Greenland vs mainland common redpoll and mainland common vs. hoary.

The link to the blog is: http://sibleyguides.blogspot.com/
