I just saw a very red bird with a black head and cone beak at my feeder in Bloomington, Minnesota. I've never seen it before and I can't identify it through normal research. Any thoughts any one? I'll try to get a picture.

Was the beak red? If so, it was probably a cardinal that has lost its head feathers because of mites.
New Year's Resolutions:
Get my lifelist to 300 (at the time of the original writing-293, currently-294)
Finally get Mountain Quail and Vesper Sparrow
Top my previous single year best (2011-253) I'm at 210 as of 6/11.
