This brings me back to 22 March 2013, when Michael Runtz and I enjoyed a 4 subspecies day at the Hilda Rd. feeders in the west end of Ottawa. Michael first spotted the Hornemann&#8217;s &#8212; a true snowball. Briefly, a second Hornemann&#8217;s showed near the first one. Instead of a faint leathery blush to its breast, it had a faint salmon colouration &#8212; assumed trait of a male. It is nice to sit back, sip coffee, and enjoy the sights and sounds of hundreds of redpolls visiting a feeder&#8230;.remotely viewed from the comfort of one&#8217;s own home :).<\/p>\n<p><a
