Did the drought effect a dismal cone/seed production here, and enough to send
localized crossbills to feeders?

Subject: [wisb] Crossbills at feeders
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.

> Hello Everyone.
> You can add us to the growing list of birders with Red Crossbills in our
yards. Today, Lu Ann and I had two adult male Red Crossbills at our house
feeders in Franklin. Actually they were eating on the ground below the
feeders.
Here I was always checking our conifer trees, where the White-winged Crossbills
were in 2009, but unexpectedly, the Red Crossbills were on the ground.
