For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Hello everyone and welcome back to our fourth bird picture for this series. Yesterday we had the male redpoll, so today I decided to show the female redpoll. Both sexes have the red spot on the head but the female lacks the red breast of the male. Redpolls are very friendly little birds and I have had them hop over and sit on my camera while I’m trying to get their picture. Have a wonderful day and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

Sorry for being so late, having some serious problems these days. Yep, when I stand at the feeder, they come hopping over and right onto the camera, they will look right at me and then look over at the screen at the back of the camera. It’s like they want to see what’s going on! And I have had several birds do that too!ππ»π

Well, not good news today that’s for sure. Something that didn’t seem to be serious has turned out to be serious. Eventually things will get back to normal, I hope. Yes, those little birds and Muffin!ππ»π

This is a great idea of yours Steve. One of my aims over the next decade is to identify more birds. So this is very helpful – many thanks!

Thanks so much Kevin! Glad you like this. Seems I forgot to email you, but I will get at it very soon. Now off to the dentist to see about this tooth that has been driving me crazy!

What a cute little bird and I love this series, Steve. I used to follow bird lovers on Twitter until I closed my account. I follow another blog that shares photos and facts about birds, as well. Now I won’t be subjected to the hoopla on Twitter just to enjoy birds. Have a great day! πβοΈβοΈ

So cute, if both of them are identical, how did you manage to find their gender? did you ask them π π Have a lovely sunday π

But they are not identical, the males have a red breast, the females don’t.ππΈ
