You know you've had a great day birding when you see a Great Gray Owl and Hoary Redpoll within a couple hours of each other! (For photos of the Great Gray Owl scroll down from the hoary redpoll photos).

Hoary Redpoll
After seeing the Great Gray Owl in Jackson, I went looking for a Hoary Redpoll that has been visiting a feeder at house in Ellsworth, ME... and I was successful! Chad Propst and I observed the Hoary Redpoll at a distance of about 10 feet. Then it flew off and landed in a tree at which time i got these photos. In the two photos you can make out the small pointy bill, limited streaking on flanks, limited/no streaking on the under-tail coverts and you can barely make out the clean white rump in the first photo.
