[Tweeters] Redpolls at Lake Ballinger Park

[Penny L Koyama]

David and I are down in Cowlitz Co and found the Common Redpolls at 3pm in Longview, reported on eBird a few days ago by Russ K. Just as he had them, a couple dozen were in the alders and birches along the canal moving left along the soccer fields. This time they were mixed in with a few Lesser Goldfinches. Something eventually startled them and they flew off, leaving the goldfinches behind. The views were great and it was fun listening to them chatter and feeling the “chaff” fall on us from their feeding activity.   

We also had 8 Canvasbacks at the Longview sewage ponds, and a gorgeous  Red-shouldered Hawk on Barlow Pt off Willow Grove Rd
