Correct ID. Love the second photo. It shows the full range of color for the Red Crossbill. I have always found the crossbill to be one of the oddest birds because of the bill.

I know what you mean, one tried to land on my shoulder, I jumped & scared him off, also you can get very close to them. I wish the sun would have been out, I think the colors would have been even brighter. Thanks for looking...

What a great sighting. I always love seeing new birds, and these are a hoot with that bill.

Thanks for looking, they are still here. I keep feeding them, thinking maybe I can bribe them to stay. I thought Aunty M lived in Kansas...Lol
