Common Redpoll, Denver

[Eric DeFonso]

Hi folks,

At Bluff Lake Nature Center this morning I had a solitary Common Redpoll mixed in with a flock of American Goldfinches and White-crowned Sparrows, feeding on the thistle amid the rabbitbrush right by the parking area. I saw it for about 2 minutes, but an hour later upon leaving I was not able to refind it.

I also had a rapid fly-by of a Prairie Merlin over the wetland shortly before I left.

Have a great day!

Eric
