I can't ever recall so many reports of crossbills at/near feeders in the state. 
Can some of you who have been around longer than me provide some perspective on 
this phenomenon here? They typically visit feeders in the southern US during 
these types of irruptions but I don't remember it being so widespread here in 
the Upper Midwest.
