The cute little redpoll is a type of finch that is very common in the north.
Their little red “polls” are a tiny flash of colour that is easily recognisable if you’re watching for them. Small but obviously hardy, I’m not sure how they make it through our tough winters.
Happy Friday. 🙂

Great shot. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Redpoll Finch before.

They are called “common redpolls” and actually I have only seen them in the west, but I wouldn’t call them common – there’s not that many around! So cute and perky. 🙂

He is a cutie. We do get finches around here, but sightings are rare and I have never seen this one. Thanks for sharing Lynette. Have a great weekend. Allan

They are known as “common redpolls” and are supposed to be extremely numerous. I have seen lots of them (and especially when I had feeders) but I wouldn’t call them common.

So tiny, so cute. Love that spot of red, stylish without being showy.

I haven’t seen these birds before. The ruby-crowned kinglet is as close in colour as I’ve seen. Nice photo!

I used to see a lot of them in southern Alberta and I was surprised to see them here as well, but then I discovered that their range is for the most part just Canada both for breeding (Arctic) and wintering. I haven’t seen any in BC although they winter there.
