Several years ago Glenn and I watched Red Crossbills foraging in the ashes of a 
firepit in the Mt. Adams area. After minerals?

Hi Obol.

Yesterday I was at the Dee Wright Observatory on route 242.  I was surprised
to find Red Crossbills there.  They seemed to be eating something off the
rocks.  Were they getting salt?  Bugs?  Plant material?  All of the above?

Here are a few photos:  http://flickr.com/gp/canyoneagle/uX8784/


Thanks,
