Common Redpoll feeding on seeds of European Black Alder at Ashbridges Bay in Toronto on 29 January 2011. This is a non native tree, but redpolls love the seeds. European Black Alder are also in Tommy Thompson Park, and redpolls are on these trees in a redpoll flight year. Update: On the Toronto Christmas Bird Count on 14  December 2014, our team saw a flock Common Redpolls on European Black Alder at Tommy Thompson Park. We saw them again on 11 January 2015.
