I received a call from brother-in-law at 1:30 this afternoon reporting
a bird at his Nyjer sacks, which he had never seen before. The key
word in his description was CROSSBILL. I arrived 45 minutes later and
the bird 15 minutes after that. It is a young male Red Crossbill, a
life bird for me after chasing all over in search of a White-Wing all
winter. I was able to get some excellent photos. I would like to know
how unusual this is. The bird was feeding hungrily while I was there
and has been there from 11:30 AM until I left at 3 PM.
