Around 11:30 this morning I was quite surprised to observe a small flock of Red Crossbills at the Talcot WMA headquarters in extreme southwest Cottonwood County. The birds were flying low and calling overhead and consisted of several adult birds, but I was unable to determine if any juveniles were present during my brief look. There is a nice stand of conifers at the headquarters that includes pine and spruce, so my guess is that the birds were feeding on the cones of these trees.
