The documentation form by Nancy Slife is the earliest and the one that forms the basis of this record. Other documentation forms by Richard Hollis, Hank Zaletel, and John C. Robinson were submitted later. Other observers include Joe Schaufenbuel, Beth Proescholdt, Mike Newlon, James Huntington, Bob Myers, Francis Moore, Russell Hays, B.J. Rose, Sharon Rose, Allan C. Hahn, Tim Dwyer, Calvin Knight, Bernadine Knight, Garnita Seward, Ramona Sommerlet, Phyllis Harris, John Robinson, John Hoogerkeide, Maggie Hoogerkeide, Nancy Slife, and Mark Proescholdt. | Elimination of similar species: Similar species, Common Redpoll. The first Common Redpoll appeared at our feeders January 13, 1982. The flock of common Redpolls has grown to approximately 40-50 as of February 9, 1982. Within this flock of Common Redpolls there are many females which appear quite light in coloration. I have been able to observe many times a side-by-side comparison with the Hoary Redpoll and light, female Common Redpolls. The Hoary Redpoll appears much lighter and silvery in coloration. This contrast is quite obvious. The Common Redpolls back and nape have an overall brownish cast with buff and black stripes on the back compared to the soft gray cast of the Hoary Redpolls back with silver + black stripes - no buff coloration. Also the very fine, pencil-thin lines along the flank of the Hoary Redpoll differs from that the heavy flank-lines of the Common Redpoll. The Hoary Redpoll's rump and undertail coverts area without any flecks or stripes, but the Common Redpolls rump and undertail coverts have flecks and streaks. | The original documentation form event began around 11:45:00.
