Hi Joyce,

It seems this year there have been numerous sightings of Red
Crossbills at feeders. I've had reports from a half dozen or so people
here in Everett about Crossbills in their yards. In the past I would
hear about them once in awhile but I've heard more this year. I'm not
sure if its because I'm more aware or because there are just more of
them this year. Enjoy them. I've been watching all summer hoping they
would show up in my yard too.
