Greetings from Claytor Lake,
This morning about 10:45 I
noticed something on the feeders that caught my eye. I scrambled for my
bins, and
it was just as I suspected, a Red Crossbill! Then I scrambled for the
camera -- a Grackle flew in and flushed the birds -- -- -- to my delight, it
returned --I got snap happy -- a Blue Jay landed on the same feeder,flushed
the
birds again, and that was the last I saw of the crossbill. I hope it returns
with friends! I still many purple finches, lots of goldfinches today, and
the bonaparte's gulls are still hanging around. Here is a photo of the
crossbill, and for those more familiar than I with this species maybe you
could
tell me which Type it is?
Good Birding,
Mark Mullins
