UPDATE: The Redpolls have been lumped meaning they're all considered one species now, known simply as "Redpoll". There are however, still subspecies to differentiate between. More info here: www.lsu.edu/science/biosci/news/2024/redpollrevelation.php
Thanks! Unfortunately/fortunately since this video was released the Redpolls have been lumped into one species so you won't need to identify any of these!
I had never heard of a Redpoll. Much less two different kinds lol. Once again Badgerland I am grateful for the teaching of identity on these two little cuties! Have a safe and happy new year 🎉
Something I just noticed at my window feeder: the red spots are iridescent in bright sunlight, like a hummingbird's throat. So cool! Rock on, common redpolls - rock on! :)
I just had some redpolls at my feeder in Duluth, MN, this video is great. Thanks! (Pine grosbeak vs white winged crossbill is another one I had to look up recently, hint, hint...😉)
Had two birds at my feeder yesterday, here in Maine, that I had never seen before. Turns out they were redpolls. Didnt get any pictures but if they show up again, I'll know what to look for. Thanks.
I'm trying to import my birding lists into ebird. I actually used and like the Audubon app until it crashed and they made changes so I was able to download lots of my data. I am going through old photos. are redpolls banded? I believe it has a red band on right foot.
Just out of curiosity - the two birds look incredibly similar and the features aren’t that different. It almost looks like the two are just different moults of the same species? Like almost how the Arctic fox is white in winter and how it changes to brown in summer? Do the rangers overlap of both species? Again just curious as a southern hemisphere birder who has no experience in snowy environments
So they’re actually so similar that it’s been proposed that they be lumped, so there’s debate about if they’re actually different species or not. For now though they remain separate
There’s a lot of debate about how many redpoll species exist. It’s fairly complicated at this point and more research definitely needs to be done but as of now these are the two in the US :)

I'm Australian birder with zero knowledge of snow finches going to Yukon in Winter , you have no idea how helpful this video was!

Thanks for watching! :)
Have a safe and Happy New Year as well!
Good helpful video, it really helps. I hope I need this one day since I've seen only a Common Redpoll. Thanks for posting it.
They can definitely be tricky to pick out! Good luck on the search!
@@BadgerlandBirding I'm in Florida, so I'm not actively searching, ha-ha, but if I go up north I need to know the difference, it helped.
badgerland birding + winter birds content = inject it in my veins
Hahaha we’ve got more coming soon 💪
Thanks this helps a lot! I was trying to ID a couple during a Christmas bird count and now I know there common!
Thanks! Happy to help!

Redpolls are the bomb 👍

You’re welcome! Glad we could help! And sweet, that’s one we hadn’t thought of, we’ll keep that in mind for sure!

I’ve never seen a banded one but it’s possible! Can you send me a photo? dereksallmann@gmail.com

Sometimes
Doubt I'll ever see a redpoll in my area, but very informative nonetheless. I never knew there were two species.

any email i can send picture of a redpoll i got...looks alot like a Hoary...id like to comfirm
Sure! dereksallmann@gmail.com
@@BadgerlandBirding perfect thanks
💖💖💖💖👏👏👏👏👏
👍👍❤️
Little shitwinks swooped right at me this morning.
They can definitely dominate a feeder!
@@BadgerlandBirding theres no feeder but forest. They probably know I'm wound up and suggested the feral cat as a target.
Wells state park.
Me, the neotropical birder watching how to identify boreal species 😶
You’ll be ready for those vagrant boreal birds ;)
