Common redpoll        Images © Mark A. Chappell

Redpolls (this is a common redpoll) are small finches from the far north.   Although they can be seen in winter in parts of the continental US, they breed in tundra vegetation, and I photographed this male in a small spruce tree on the Twin Lakes road near Churchill, Manitoba.
