For the 3rd time in the last 10 or so days, Red Crossbills have been observed flying over my house or landing in my conifers. Today a male and female sat in one of my spruces for a few moments and then flew off to the NW. It is difficult to tell if they are local breeders or birds on the move, but other respondents have reported them in Northumberland & Halliburton Counties recently so maybe this is a forbearer of good news?
