It’s hard to laugh at a joke when Hitler is involved, but I defy any birder to watch this video without cracking up. Brilliant!

(Hat tip to Suzie for the link. The thumbnail photo of a Hoary Redpoll was taken by Clare K. in his big backyard!)

@Jacob: In Germany, they’d refer to it as a Polarbirkenzeisig, which translates to “polar birch siskin”. 🙂 😉

By the way, the polar birch siskin is a very rare vagrant to Germany as well, so the entire episode might not be quite as fictional as we think?
