Cherryfield Red Crossbills

[Joel and Sandy Wilcox-Fairbanks]

Three at the feeders just now, wow! All mostly brown, but one had areas of orange-red and another had areas of yellow-green. I had no idea they even came to feeders. They were apparently going after hulled sunflower seeds. 

Also 20 or more Yellow Warblers along the Narraguagus "downtown" this AM, as though a group arrived yesterday or this morning.

. . .and just now, as I'm writing this, there is a Swainson's Thrush perched on the arched neck of one of the feeder poles! Another first at the feeders, though unfortunately it did not eat anything. I may just stay home today and look out the window.
