Birds help teach me my own language; this bird, the common redpoll, is so named for the red scalp or head.
Before I was into birds, I never knew that, in the old sense, a “poll” was just a head count. (Hence, also, the term “poll tax” but I guess you all knew that already.)
Ohhhhh, poll tax! How I love ya, how I love ya!
My dear ol’ poll tax!
Dapper with red caps.
