While birding and butterflying Greene Mountain Road (in southern Greene County) 
in the early afternoon today, I heard a Red Crossbill.  The bird called loudly 
a few times as it flew over the woods a short distance away from me and 
appeared to be headed west.  This occurred on the back (i.e., south) side of 
the gorge, about a mile from Viking Mountain Road.  The northern and western 
edges of the gorge are heavily covered in pines, perhaps helping to explain the 
presence of the crossbill.

I also found at least a half dozen male Diana Fritillaries along Greene 
Mountain Road and nearby areas.  One perched on the driver's seat of my car and 
offered the look of a lifetime.
