I had never heard of a Redpoll. Much less two different kinds lol. Once again Badgerland I am grateful for the teaching of identity on these two little cuties! Have a safe and happy new year 🎉

Good helpful video, it really helps. I hope I need this one day since I've seen only a Common Redpoll. Thanks for posting it.

They can definitely be tricky to pick out! Good luck on the search!

Something I just noticed at my window feeder: the red spots are iridescent in bright sunlight, like a hummingbird's throat. So cool! Rock on, common redpolls - rock on! :)

I just had some redpolls at my feeder in Duluth, MN, this video is great. Thanks! (Pine grosbeak vs white winged crossbill is another one I had to look up recently, hint, hint...😉)

You’re welcome! Glad we could help! And sweet, that’s one we hadn’t thought of, we’ll keep that in mind for sure!

Had two birds at my feeder yesterday, here in Maine, that I had never seen before. Turns out they were redpolls. Didnt get any pictures but if they show up again, I'll know what to look for. Thanks.

Doubt I'll ever see a redpoll in my area, but very informative nonetheless. I never knew there were two species.

There’s a lot of debate about how many redpoll species exist. It’s fairly complicated at this point and more research definitely needs to be done but as of now these are the two in the US :)

I'm trying to import my birding lists into ebird. I actually used and like the Audubon app until it crashed and they made changes so I was able to download lots of my data. I am going through old photos. are redpolls banded? I believe it has a red band on right foot.

I’ve never seen a banded one but it’s possible! Can you send me a photo? dereksallmann@gmail.com

Just out of curiosity - the two birds look incredibly similar and the features aren’t that different. It almost looks like the two are just different moults of the same species? Like almost how the Arctic fox is white in winter and how it changes to brown in summer? Do the rangers overlap of both species? Again just curious as a southern hemisphere birder who has no experience in snowy environments

So they’re actually so similar that it’s been proposed that they be lumped, so there’s debate about if they’re actually different species or not. For now though they remain separate

I actually saved one of those one time he got sick off of something and he was passing away in my bird feeder had to pack I had to bury him it was very very sad they're awesome birds Northern New Hampshire that they travel up there in the winter time and they eat bird seed they were so cold there was two below zero ice feeding and bird seed like crazy they're eating like they were starving and if one for me they probably wouldn't survive they're fantastic birds all of them are

any email i can send picture of a redpoll i got...looks alot like a Hoary...id like to comfirm
