Today while walking between classes at Southern Adventist University, a
Carolina Wren caught my attention when it flew out of a garbage can.
Because I found it quite humorous, I decided to follow it to a nearby rock
water fountain/pool. There were a few other birds already at the fountain,
and as I got closer, I was stunned to see a pair of Red Crossbills! I was
able to approach quite closely, but when I pulled out my iPod to attempt a
low-quality photo, they flew up above the fountain where I saw a third
individual! They called several times allowing me to ID them as type 3.
Unfortunately I had to move on to my class so I wasn't able to spend more
time with them. Red Crossbill brings my campus list up to 104.
