So I was just driving Academy Rd in Thetford. and some birds flew up from the road as I drove by. Hmm.. bigger than goldfinches(in the road ?) , no wing bars.. and they weren't juncos. I better turn around. All 3 were in the middle of the road. "feeding" on salt ? grit ? 8 feet from my car window. Cute the way they had to turn their heads and side scoop the grit. Their bills are crossed after all. 3 Red Crossbills. 1 was a male. BiSh To post messages, send e-mail to: [log in to unmask] Set your e-mail application to PLAIN TEXT ONLY to post messages.
