I've had very few Redpolls at the winter feeders for the last several years, but a half dozen have shown up already this winter, beginning at the end of November/early December. They are a small northern bird and irrupt into southern Canada in the winter, when the food supply in the north is not plentiful. The photograph below, from about 10 years ago, shows a mass of redpolls and sparrows at my backyard feeders. The scene was like this for most of that winter. Maybe we're about to have another winter like that one.
Please comment if you wish.

We have yet to see any this year - always a welcomed splash of colour.
