Every summer the White-Winged and Red Crossbills
come to visit.
I love them, but they are hard on the feeders.
Notice all my finch feeders are metal
screen instead of the fabric ones. This is because the crossbills are murder on the fabric feeders.
Unlike finches, these guys have bills that overlap.

| The male White-winged Crossbill. Much more colorful. |

Amazing! Those are some great pictures.

ReplyDeleteCarmen used my word. Amazing popped in my mind when I viewed your pictures. Do you use a tripod?
ReplyDeleteI don't use a tripod Glenda. I'm not that organized. I find myself thinking I should get it out when I'm out there trying to take pictures. :)
