From Mike Hiotis:

Hey Jonathan,
Letting you know while walking the dog in the yard this morning I watched 7 noisy birds land in my neighbor’s Fir trees. I had time to get to the car for my binoculars and see that 3 of the 7 birds were Red Crossbills. They were in the tree approx. 1 minute before setting off to the west.
