I've had a flock of about 15-20 in my yard/around my neighborhood just south of Spring Canyon Park in Fort Collins for the last couple of months as well. This is the first year since I've lived in this house (2017) that I've noticed them in the spring. I've been wondering whether others have been s

I've had them every day since April 11th. Usually around 20, sometimes 40. I'm in the Big Thompson canyon west of Loveland, East of Drake. Looks like they are eating sunflower chips. On Saturday, May 27, 2023 at 2:00:02 PM UTC-6 DAVID J WALTMAN wrote: > I’ve had a flock at my feeders for about

We've had a flock of red crossbills on our feeder (black sunflower seed) everyday for 2.5 months now (draining it daily now). Pine Brook Hills, Boulder, County. I've had them stop by over the years, but never stay for more than a few days, and typically just when it's be cold. I'm curious if an
