I've made it over there for three Sundays in a row and FINALLY saw the Red Crossbills this weekend. Up to then, I had seen only the White Winged. Both are new sightings for me, so I enjoyed seeing both kinds. I've also heard there were Redpolls and a Black Headed Gull there...(neither of which I've spotted yet.) Hope all is well with you!
