COMMON REDPOLLS

Carduelis flammea

IRRUPTIVE SPECIES-IRREGULAR OR CASUAL IN PA

Common Redpolls breed in Alaska and across northern Canada. Wintering in the southern portions of their
breeding range they seldom range further south than the far northern United States. They are irregular and casual
in Pennsylvania winters. In irruptive years such as this year, they can be abundant in large flocks or
flocks of just a few individuals.
Many years can pass when they are very rare or absent altogether.

I first photographed these Redpolls at a private residence in South Eastern Adams County on January 21, 2008.
