My own redpolls at last (Gunbarrel, Boulder)

[Nathan Pieplow]

I'd caught up with redpolls on more than one occasion this winter, but they were always found by somebody else.  I got four of my own today on the walk home from the bus stop, where the Twin Lake Trail meets Robinson Place.  They took off to the north.  Hope they stay in the neighborhood.
