Redpolls not yet gone

[jhetley]

We probably should be keeping an eagle eye on the flock, looking for hoary redpolls hiding amongst the common, but are not playing that game.  Item the first, there is dispute among the learned as to whether those are actually different species.  Item the second, the common species shows a lot of color and pattern variation.  Item the third, the damn birds move around too much.

Morning temperature 7 F -- positive, not negative, and the wind has died down.  Sun now going to work.
