My son Nathan needs Red Crossbills for his life list - this looks like a good fall/winter to nail them down for him. I realize they are highly nomadic, but is anyone seeing them on a consistent basis in an area within a couple of hours of central MN?
All replies welcome. Good birding to all! Al Schirmacher Princeton, MN Mille Lacs & Sherburne Counties (Only highlight of the morning was 340 Sandhills in Sherburne Refuge - imagine we will hit 600-800 before they leave.)
