I just had a reddish bird and an obvious female version of it(grayish with a bright yellowish rump) on my thistle sock feeder for almost 30mins in the rain. They were about 5 feet too far for my binocs to get a good look at the bills. This would be a lifer for me.... Thanks, John D. Champion Coker Creek, TN My life Red Crossbills were on a thistle feeder in Ithaca, NY. In the rain, come to think of it. Marty DeHart Bon Aqua, TNGet more from the Web.
