This morning I have 6 crossbills at my feeders. My first this
winter/spring/whatever! 4 males and 2 females. The females and 2 of the
males look like your basic red (males are reddish-orangeish) crossbills. The
two other males are colored like white-wings (scarlet-pinkish) but no white
wing bars. Do crossbills ever cross over?
