First new bird of spring... Couldn't resist seeing how the camera did - good thing this shot worked cuz birdie flew away before I could get another picture.

Cool bird what kind is it?........oh and wheres the snow? :mrgreen:

[AndyL]

It's a pretty bird :)

lmao - ok... fine... make me dig out the field guide...

Common Redpoll (Carduelis flammea)

Snow? what snow? Do you know how warm it's been here? :D

[Todd]

A male Carduelis Flammea, to be specific. I have to say that I miss the Bombycilla garrulus (Bohemian Waxwing) that Edmonton has at this time of year.
