[cobirds] Red Crossbill - Custer County

COBirders,

  Saturday morning at our cabin in NW Custer County we had a short visit from one (only!) Red Crossbill.  It was a type 5, I think, and did not vocalize.  It’s dull but fresh red plumage showed it to be a male.  First crossbill we’ve seen there in maybe two decades.  Since we are absent a good part of the time in cold weather there might have been many visits we missed, however one would think that we would have seen a few during that time.
