[Birdtalk] Red Crossbills finally!

[tanager at timaverybirding.com]

I had been waiting to at least hear some crossbills in my sugarhouse neighborhood this spring. On Friday I thought I heard call notes but they were faint and not quite right. This morning when I opened the front door I was greeted by a flock circling and calling. I figure they were at one of the neighbors feeders before the neighbors came out with kids for an easter egg hunt. 

There were about 8 birds it looked like. 

Now if I could pull a white-winged this direction I would be set!

Cheers
