Not really. We have the finches arriving for quite some time now, but the crossbills have only ever been incidentals here. I would love to see them more!
Thanks, Ursula. These birds are so much fun to watch, but sadly I haven’t seen any here except that one time when they stayed a few days and then left.

Sweet photos and little poem to go with them. I don’t see many of these birds, unless I am confusing them with a type of finch. Very cute.

You would know it if you saw one of these. They have definite crossed bills and they walk kind of like parrots do.
