Description
I finally had my first Redpoll visitors - over two dozen of them. Unfortunately, they spooked easily when Starlings came to the feeders and did not return except for a couple later on. I'm hoping they end up staying because everyone else around me has high numbers of these beautiful little birds!Vestal, New York

Thank you so much! Mine differs day-to-day. I had up to 80 of them at one point, but today only had a handful. And of course today I got my best shots!!

Wow!! 300! I counted 46 today. I didn't have my thistle feeder out until this morning, as it was broken and I had to get really creative to repair it. Before, I had about 18 coming for the black oil sunflower, but now they are emptying my 5lb thistle feeder in a day! It's both exciting and horrifying (given the cost of thistle), hah!

Yeah, that is insane. Mine don't stay that long. I had up to 80, but they would fly away to the smallest sound. I guess it's OK since I'm not draining out of seed, but I love having them!

Yeah, that and seed cakes. Most of my other feeders are tough for them to get to.
