Alan/Larry/All,
Based on the behaviors that I've been observing, it appears that the Red Crossbills are already nesting. Last winter, when we had huge numbers of Red Crossbills nesting from Long Lake to Minerva, I began to see juveniles by the 3rd week of February and continued to see them into April. So keep an eye out for juvenile Red Crossbills this coming month! Redpoll numbers are quickly escalating at our Long Lake feeders too! Pine Siskin numbers are increasing also.

Thanks Larry. I heard at least one Red Crossbill singing so hopefully they will stick around and nest in the area. _____ To: [email protected] From: [email protected] Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2015 14:15:36 -0500 Subject: RE: NNYBirds: pine siskin Thanks. Let me know if you find crossbills consistently feeding in one spot as I'd like to get some images and recordings. Siskin now seems to be regular with the 200+ redpolls at my feeders.
