I was worried that he may have been ill, because he was sitting for some time on the ground--I sat down and observed him for a good 10 min. Then I noticed a small puddle nearby so I figured he may have just had a bath and was just drying out in a sunbeam. But when he hopped right up to me I was shocked! That's when I could easily see the crossed bill. Thankfully he flew away and I was satisfied that he wasn't hurt or ill. Very cool sighting. My first crossbill too.K Burtnyknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5084204667222116589.post-2751524477826124732009-06-18T08:22:50.940-07:002009-06-18T08:22:50.940-07:00Some favorites at my feeders!
