I spent an hour at this location this morning from 10:30-11:30, and had 4 groups of flyover crossbills (or maybe the same group 4 times?) of between 5-15 birds each time.� All I could hear were White-winged.

On a totally separate note, I had until recently had my hummingbird feeder up in the vain hope of a vagrant hummingbird, and I noticed a group of chickadees visiting it the other day - looked like they were trying to drink the nectar that had accumulated at the bottom of the feeding cup.� The feeder is down now.

Good birding
