We took a little drive and hiked at Grand Lake St Mary’s yesterday. As we hiked at Windy Point, we saw these sparrow sized birds that seemed impossible to photograph. We both kept trying, and by the time we returned to the car, all we had was a few shots.

When we returned home, I was surpirsed to find what we had photographed. I thought I saw some red, and sure enough, we had seen a gallup of Redpools. Yes, these are photos of the Common Redpoll. The last photo may be a male. The male has more red on the breast, while both the male and female have red on the head. Two of these photos were captured by Teresa and two by me. A fun time, but cold.
