Back in Colorado for a couple of weeks (BBS season) and was very surprised to have a nice sized flock (10-12) of RED CROSSBILLs fly over our place (Athmar Park neighborhood; SW Denver, Denver Co.) earlier this week. I didn’t get a chance to post then, but just this morning (Sat., 17 Jun.’23) we’ve had a couple of groups of crossbills circulating around the area. Haven’t been able to record any of them yet, but pretty certain they have all been “Ponderosa” (Type 2) Red Crossbills based on their calls, plus they’re pretty chunky dudes.
If you are out enjoying this nice break in the weather, keep your ears open as these fun guys are out and about in the lowlands currently.
Good Birding,
Doug
Denver
