Common Redpoll - Frank Lake, AB The Redpoll is an iconic winter finch at feeders where temperatures are below freezing. These hardy little birds are residents of the farthest northern climates in the summer and are circum-polar meaning they live in areas all the way around the top of the earth. The red patch on the top of the forehead sets them apart from Pine Siskins with a slightly more delicate call. The males also get a red wash on their belly in breeding season.
