Just missed the Crossbills at field 7 when I first arrived around 8:30 am according to the photographers that were there. Then around 9am 8 Red Crossbills returned predominately males. Drove towards model airplane field only to see on the pines before that field on the tallest pine spire a White- winged Crossbill almost like a
Star on a Xmas tree. Got out of the car for a better look only to discover a female White-winged Crossbill below him. A good morning.
