Here today, gone tomorrow


I encountered probably the same flock of Common Redpolls feeding under the gray birches at the marsh this morning. The seeds from the birch catkins are a favourite of the redpolls, and by late winter they have all fallen to the ground. These tiny birds are never still and are easily startled, so getting a shot of one is a challenge. I don't expect to see them around much longer, as their breeding range is in Newfoundland and the far north.
