	Redpoll winter
		Of all the winter finches, the five-inch common redpolls are better adapted to withstand colder temperatures and tend to stay farther north or arrive later.
		Redpolls tend to be active earlier in the morning and later in the twilight to lengthen the time spent feeding.
		Common redpolls have a close relative, the hoary redpoll, Carduelis hornemanni, which looks similar but is lighter overall with finer streaking, a white rump and just a wash of pink on the male's breast.

	British Garden Birds - Redpoll
		Redpoll is one of the species that ornithologists do not seem able to decide on whether there are several species, subspecies or races.
		Today, the Lesser Redpoll population is about one-tenth of what it was in the 1970s and yet this delightful little bird has only recently been moved to the Amber List of species of conservation concern.
		Redpolls are not usually seen in the garden, but they are to be found in the local woods.

	Common Redpoll
		Common Redpolls are approximately 5 to 5.5 inches (12 to 14 centimeters) in length.
		It is difficult to identify specific races of the Common Redpoll because of the extreme variability in each bird's plumage.
		Common Redpoll irruptions are global in nature—they have been recorded in Europe and Asia as well.

	Common Redpoll
		Both sexes have a crimson/red crown on the forehead, short yellow bill, flish-brown feet, brownish-fl throat, longitudinally streaked with flish-brown, dusky tail and wings with yellowish-brown edges, lower tail-coverts are white tinged with rose and yellowish-brown scapulars.
		The song of the Common Redpoll is resembles the Pine Siskin which is a trill followed by a chet-chet-chet-chet sound.
		Several Redpolls can be seen on a twig feeding each other by passing a seed from bill to bill.

	Steve's Birding Pages
		In the field I usually find that Common Redpolls are noticeably bulkier in appearance when seen alongside Lesser Redpolls with usually a rather more bull-necked appearance and are overall greyer and colder brown in colouration.
		Note the large amount of buff-brown admixed with the pinkish on the breast of the adult male Lesser Redpoll in plate 4 and compare it with the adult male Common in plates 1,2, 4 and 5.
		Redpolls often feed in the tops of Birches and views obtained are often from below.

	Redpoll - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Redpolls are a group of small passerine birds in the finch family Fringillidae which have characteristic red markings on their heads.
		Arctic Redpoll, Carduelis hornemanni, breeds in tundra birch forest.
		Many birds migrate further south in winter, but the milder climate means that this redpoll can be found all year round in much of its range, and may be joined by the other two species in winter.

		Redpolls have definitely made an impact on the Fairbanks area this winter.
		The sheer number of birds, two -40 cold snaps, and the redpoll’s habitat of eating and defecating in the same spot set the stage for a classic example of disease transmission.
		Redpolls pick up the bacteria when they consume seed that has been in contact with contaminated feces.

	Arctic Redpolls in New Hampshire in December 2003
		Common Redpolls first appeared in the area of Keene, New Hampshire on 7th December (7) and quickly built up to 55 birds by 10th December.
		The Redpolls in the Keene area in December 2003 appeared to be entirely composed of C.f.flammea and C.h.exilipes, as might have been expected in south-west New Hampshire.
		The variability within Common Redpoll plumages (all forms, including flammea) is well known, while a better understanding of the plumages of the southern form of Arctic or Hoary Redpoll C.h.exilipes has led to a significant increase in records from a number of European countries, especially the UK with over 800 records to date.

	Mealy Redpoll Linnet
		That the Mealy Redpoll becomes a richly coloured bird at the approach of the breeding season I feel quite confident, and I will now venture to give you some idea of its appearance at that happy period of its life.
		The spots seen on the sides of the breast, and along the lower parts of the body, almost to the femorals, disappear, and the upper parts, or the shoulders and back, become almost of a uniform rich brown, as those parts are in the Common Linnet of Europe.
		On two occasions I have seen the Mealy Redpoll associated with the American Siskin, in the beginning of October, in the province of New Brunswick.

		Winter 1935-36 was a "redpoll winter." They were common from December to April and for the two weeks of mid-April the local winter population, augmented by northbound transients, swarmed over parts of the Annapolis Valley.
		Remarks Redpolls are closely related to Pine Siskins and American Goldfinches, both of which they resemble in size, manner of flight and feeding habits.
		The branches of a small roadside apple orchard were so thickly covered with redpolls that the trees presented a leaden-gray appearance.

	Natural Born Birder - Galleries - Problem Redpoll (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Redpolls are not the easiest group of birds to deal with and are far from being my strongpoint.
		The large (>15mm) white and unstreaked rump is a major point in favour of Arctic Redpoll - it seems large enough and white enough to exclude Mealy.
		The fact that this bird was noticeably smaller than the accompanying Mealy Redpoll is to me the main point against Arctic, the streaking towards the flanks seems a bit on the broad side and the buffish patches on the sides of the upper breast all make me a little doubtful as to this birds identity.

	Redpoll - Carduelis flammea - English Nature
		Unless the distinctive trilling call is learnt, redpoll flocks are easy to overlook as they move through the treetops.
		Numbers of redpolls have fluctuated dramatically over the last 50 years, with a huge rise in the 1960s followed by an equally dramatic decline.
		The diet is dominated by tree seeds during the autumn and winter with birch and alder being particular favourites.

	Hoary Redpoll
		The Hoary Redpoll, a member of the Finch family, generally breeds and winters farther north and on more open tundra than the related Common Redpoll, only occasionally reaching the northern United States.
		The Hoary Redpoll is very similar to the Common Redpoll but has an unstreaked rump and a smaller bill.
		The Hoary Redpoll prefers weedy pastures and roadsides in the winter and tundra in summer.

		Naturally, with reports of species as rare as this during a non-invasion year, caution must be exercised to determine plausibility based on the observer's description of the bird.
		This particular bird, a female, based on the lack of rosy wash on the breast and somewhat heavily striped flanks (also separating this species from Hoary Redpoll) was first observed by John Dalton, who subsequently welcomed anyone who wished to see the bird to his residence.
		This Common Redpoll was observed by most area birders for the next three days until Saturday, 14 March 1998.

	Birds of Nova Scotia - Hoary Redpoll (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Hoary Redpolls have been reported in Nova Scotia only since 1959, when a "frosty-looking" bird was seen in a large flock of Common Redpolls at Lower Canard, Kings County, on 27 December (R.W. Tufts).
		The next four were seen on 18 January 1969 near Halifax by Jean Boulva and Robert Gauthier; and on 22 February 1969 Charles R.K. Allen saw one at Kennetcook, Hants County.
		Remarks Common Redpolls are sometimes misidentified as Hoary Redpolls by the overenthusiastic, but the frosty appearance and plain white rump, unstreaked in the centre, are distinctive, although the rump is readily seen only when the birds fly off at close range.

	Common Redpoll Winter 1997-1998 Survey
		The winter finch survey is showing that redpolls are most often found in areas of moderate to heavy seed crops.
		The earliest indication that 1997-98 would be a winter finch irruption year came in mid-September, with the report of Common Redpoll in northern Michigan.
		The first example is that of their trill, then there are a series of flight calls followed by an example of how they sound in a flock.

	Lesser Redpoll Linnet
		When alighted they were quite unsuspecting, and so heedless as to allow a close approach, scarcely regarding my presence, but clinging to the branches, dexterously picking out the seeds of the alder-cones, and occasionally coming to the ground after some which had dropped.
		Few birds exhibit a more affectionate disposition than the Little Redpoll, and it was pleasing to see several on a twig feeding each other by passing a seed from bill to bill, one individual sometimes receiving food from his two neighbours at the same time.
		Occasionally, however, they shewed considerable pugnacity, and one would drive off its companion, inflicting some smart blows upon it with its bill, and uttering a low querulous chatter.

		Size, shape and actions are very similar to the American Goldfinch or a Pine Siskin.
		Common Redpolls display irregular migratory movements by heading south from Canada during the winter months.
		These migrations south are thought to be tied to the lack of wild food on their normal winter range.
