Winter Visitors On Their Way

Although summer has not quite yet left us, evidence that the autumn migration is well underway is being seen all throughout the country. Soon many of our favorite spring and summer feeder visiting birds will be replaced by species that overwinter in our respective areas.

Amy from Chicago reminded us of one of the more exciting wintertime birds that often extend their wintertime range southward into the northern United States when she uploaded to the Wingscapes Flickr Group this image of a Common Redpoll she took last February using her Wingscapes BirdCam.

Common Redpoll Pictures from Maine

Jack from Fryeburg, Maine just sent us these great shots!

Thanks Jack!

He also captured the first photograph of a Common Redpoll with the BirdCam so we have added it to our BirdCam Life List.

We really enjoy the pictures we get from the camera. One is a picture from the same day (March 23) and the other is from April 5, 2008 when a flock of about 100 were in the tree in the yard. A bunch went down to get some seed when that picture was taken. Again these pictures of the Common Redpolls were taken in Fryeburg, ME.
