Greg and COBirders-- Nice find! The Colorado Breeding Bird Atlas II lists the Red Crossbill’s breeding season as beginning around March 15 and continuing into October. Arkansas Valley Audubon’s newly revised Wet Mountain Valley checklist shows this species as “uncommon” the year around.

Is this early or normal? Photos, recording and more details on list. https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S53954959 Gregg Goodrich Highlands Ranch -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
