An hour ago, with three other birders, the Common Redpoll (CORE) was relocated at Fort Howard Park. In addition, I can confirm another three CORE and suggest that a larger flock may be present. They seem to move often.
Thank you very much Jon. The Redpoll is a life bird for me and you get double bonus points for finding one [for me] in my home county.

There is a small building looking in the direction of the arrow. The bird was first heard and then seen feeding in a large Sweet Gum behind the building. The bird then flew down and perched for me, as if he knew eBird documentation was in order.
