Hi everyone,
For those of you west-siders looking to escape the heat (it?s only in the 70?s over here!), the Ellensburg Crossbills are still present. Yesterday (4/8) and this morning (4/9) there were many Crossbills on Craigs Hill along 3rd, in ?Grasslands? along the eastern extension of 1st (east of the High School) and on the west side of Craigs Hill (along Walnut north of 3rd). I cannot confirm any White-winged Crossbills, but some of the roving flocks sounded more like White-winged and less like type-3.

Cheers,
