Subject: [Tweeters] Seattle crossbills on Monday

The main flock seems to have moved on at least at 0730 Monday.
None were seen or heard in trees at 21th Ave E and E Roy or at the
church at 20th Ave E and E Prospect.
Two singletons were seen overflying that area, heading west, calling.
Wandering up to Volunteer Park showed a few in the tops of the
conifers at the north/central part of the park with a couple of small
groups of 6 or so. And one 13 bird flock moving around.
None were seen to be singing (even though a few had perched at the
top of the tree).
I guess they're activing irruptive and looking around for the best
food source.
