Hi,

I found 1 of the Redpolls at Fort Smallwood at 7:45 this morning.  It
was conveniently hanging out between the parking lot and the fort with a
flock of Goldfinches and Juncos.  

Other birds in the loose flock included:
15-20 AmGo, 10-15 DEJ, 1 PiWa, 3-5 SoSp, 15-20 EuSt, 5-10 RWBB and 2
BHCo.  Plus at least one CoRe.  

The other Redpoll could have been there since the birds were fairly
active and continuously moving between the ground and the trees and I
lost and refound the bird various times over the course of about 15
minutes.  There were also lots of ducks in the bay including good
numbers of GrSc, but I didn't have time to do a proper scan.

The fort is closed on Wednesdays.
