Project 365: Jan 5, 2008

The Common Redpoll visited me again today. It's an irruptive species of bird, meaning it only visits this far south once every few years, when the nut and seed supplies up in Canada are too low to feed them. In birding chat forums, it seems like many people are hoping to catch a glimpse of the Redpolls this year, so I figure I'm pretty lucky to have them visiting my back yard.
