Hi Tweets,

This morning I had a juvenile RED CROSSBILL at my feeders. Didn't stay long,
but I got a good look at him (her?)...really pale, washed out reddish-orange
on the back & breast area. The crossed-bill was quite distinctive. First
time I've seen one in my yard, but this year? Who knows what will show up
next.
