My best guess is that we've had perhaps 10 RHWO's here at Hard Bargain 
Farm all winter (7 for the CBC if I remember correctly). One adopted our 
feeders and is a daily visitor. Ours isn't quite as brilliant red yet 
but he's getting there. Before and after shots are on my site here: 
http://hardbargainfarm.blogspot.com He seems to be the only coming in to 
the feeders.

Good birding,
