There have been Red Crossbills around Lincoln City consistently since winter.
Today at Pixieland there was a flock of 20-30 feeding on some type of cones
(don't know my trees). It was raining, and they were feeding fairly low to the
ground - at times picking cones up off the ground and carrying them up to a
branch where they'd break them open (cones were 2-3" long). If it hadn't been
for the warblers, I'd have paid more attention, it was fascinating. They were
in the same trees as the warblers (birdiest trees at the place today).

qqqqqqqq yyyyyyyyyyyy xxxxxxxxxxxI have heard them at my house (25 miles nw of
downtown
Portland) a least twice recently. That's after many month's
hiatus. But strictly flyovers. They typically hang around,
making daily appearances. I don't think there's any cone
crop at the moment. Lars
