December 14, 2020 - Hoary Redpoll or Arctic Redpoll (Acanthis hornemanni or Carduelis hornemanni)

Breeding in the arctic tundra, these small finches winter in parts of Canada, Greenland, and Eurasia. In some years they travel further south and are seen in the northern United States. They eat seeds, buds, and catkins, along with insects and spiders during warmer months, picking their food from branches, stems, and the ground. Females build large cup-shaped nests from stems, plant down, twigs, rootlets, fur, and feathers in shrubs, small trees, rock crevices, driftwood, or on the ground. They incubate the eggs while males bring them food.
