About 25 White-winged Crossbills and 1 Red Crossbill in the lower part of the cemetery today. Nice side-by-side comparison of the males of the two species. Thanks for finding the Red Crossbills Jim. If you hadn't I probably wouldn't have looked them over, assuming they were all white-wingeds (you know what they say about assuming).

The Peregrine Falcon was evident sitting high up on the Woodman Bldg. in downtown, and a White-winged Scoter was on the Mississippi River as scoped from Lindsay Park.
