The dates given above refer to the movements of the common form of the 

 Redpoll, linaria, but there is also another form of this bird called Holboell's 

 Redpoll, which breeds probably in northeastern Asia and northwestern North 

 America, and in migration comes southwestward into the northern United 

 States. It is rare, but has been taken at Koshkonong, Wis., January 22, 1867; 

 Meridian, Wis., January 22- April 3, 1896; near Iowa City, la., January 18- 

 February 22, 1896; Chicago, 111., November 2, 1878; North Bridgton, Me., 

 November 25, 1878; Gorham, Me., February 3, 1903; Swampscot, Mass., 

 March 26, 1883; Lexington, Mass., March 10, 1890; and Ossining, N. Y., 

 February 12-13, 1883. Thus these New England birds have migrated east 

 about two degrees for each degree they have moved toward the south. 



There is still another subspecies, the Greater Redpoll, rostrata, which breeds 

 in Greenland, and migrates in winter southward to the United States as far 

 west as the Rocky Mountains. It is more common than the Holboell's, but, as 

 compared with the common Redpoll, it is a rare visitant. It was taken at Erie,
