From our superb meal at Wilno Tavern last night to our finchy and wonderful birding day today, I must say that this trip felt more like a vacation than it did work! Though we (somehow) managed to miss Evening Grosbeak, we enjoyed: Pine Grosbeak (1) Purple Finch (18) Red Crossbill (26) White-winged Crossbill (13) Pine Siskin (10) and American Goldfinch (80). The outright highlight had to be the crossbills (of both species). We heard both species calling and signing throughout the day; wonderful music to our ears.<\/p>\n
