Common Redpoll

Male
Carduelis flammea

When you see the redpolls perched in the trees, listen for their swee-ee-eet calls. More than likely, you will hear them before you see them.

I was noticing the same thing yesterday. I was sitting near a palm tree that was alive with chirping ... but nary a bird could I see.
