Hi Doug-

Um...looked at your photo of the "greater" Redpoll....could you explain to
an amateur what you are seeing?  Is this the larger bird referred to in
Sibley's as a "Greenland" Redpoll?

I can't really see the difference, nor could I tell if your other post was a
"Hoary".  I guess it takes practise!

Thanks

Cindy Crawford
