The Common Redpoll is a small finch found primarily in the northern regions of North America and Eurasia. It has a distinctive red cap on its head and streaked brown and white plumage. These birds are often seen in flocks, especially during the winter months, foraging for seeds from trees and shrubs. Common Redpolls are known for their cheerful, twittering calls and can adapt to various habitats, including tundra and boreal forests. They primarily feed on seeds from plants like birch and alder, and their small size allows them to access food in tight spaces.
