I was hiking around eastern Vilas and northern Forest county Thursday and 
Friday. I encountered Red Crossbills about a dozen times. I'm sure a few of 
those were the same flock flying back over me, but I was surprised how many I 
ran into. Most were associating with red or jack pine. Things were pretty slow 
otherwise.

A good flock of mostly female-type Pine Grosbeaks were still present in Hurley 
(Iron Co.) a few blocks north of the 51 and Silver St. intersection.
