I'm sure you are right, Alan, much as it embarrasses me to say it. We saw
several Red Crossbills this morning at Pixieland but I just didn't put it
together until I posted the pictures. Thanks

Although it is a little hard to tell what the color really is owing to the
light-and-shade pattern, my impression is that the color is not right for
Scarlet Tanager, which is typically brilliant red. This bird looks to me more
brick red like a Red Crossbill tucked away in the shade. One of the photos
appears to show a beefy, dark, finchy-looking bill, though that may be an
effect of lighting or a twig.

Decided to go through my photos one more time and found him at the very bottom
of a shot - from there was able to find him in 3 more pix. They are bad but you
can see him - there are four photos to scroll through, two of the shots include
a cedar waxwing who was nearby (the tree was full of cedar waxwings, making it
very hard to follow the bird).

Spent about 3 1/2 hours at Pixieland this morning hoping to refind the bird.
Ken Chamberlain joined me, followed by Paul and Carol.
None of my photos turned out (I was basically pointing into the tree and firing
blind - didn't work). I'm certain of what I saw - unfortunately have no proof
and it was not there today.
