Hi Kevin,
It's the largest type 4 irruption in the northeast in at least 25 years,
and it's one of the top three Type 2 irruptions in the same time period. We
often have a few type 2 around in the northeast most years. The numbers
this year are impressive though.

Hi fellow birders,
I've been having some success in finding red crossbills recently, mainly where
the Finger Lakes Trail crosses Michigan Hollow Rd (the N crossing of the two at
the creek), but also today on the FLT near where it crosses Travor Rd in Danby.
Jay McGowan was kind enough to tell
A female or juv red crossbill just came down to eat grit at the Hammond Hill

Today I heard what I thought was a Red Crossbill in the pine forest near the
intersection of Canaan Road and Hammond Hill Road just east of Ithaca. Just one

While doing some sound recording training at Hammond Hill State Forest, we
had a fairly low flyover TYPE 1 RED CROSSBILL at the top of the Yellow 1
trail (the Mourning Warbler clearing). It happened pretty quickly but I was
gratified that all three of us were able to record it (albeit not
Within the last hour, there was a bird on the platform feeder that I first
assumed was part of the resident flock of House Finches. The breast
striping looked a little different, more like a Purple Finch, but nothing
else looked like a P. Finch. The bird ate voraciously and was very
aggressive,
Thanks all for your comments. I feel politely admonished for not taking
photos when I had the means and the opportunity. I had asked whether anyone
had heard of House Finches with deformed bills. The answer was Yes. I also
asked whether it was likely to have a R. Crossbill on our feeder at
Hi everyone,
There are a couple of recent items on eBird that will likely appeal to birders
in the Finger Lakes.
We just posted an article by Matt Young on Red Crossbills that covers the
status and identification of flight calls of the different types of Red
