Elaine Hendricks and I just saw 2 Common Redpolls by themselves near the entrance to the parking lot. Before she arrived I saw a pair with a goldfinch flock in a Sweet Gum tree near the curvy blue slide.

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.
