Male Red Crossbill
Lincoln, Nebraska
My new favorite bird. These stayed for about 10 days while migrating through. They visited my bird feeder multiple times a day but they dominated it in the mornings. There was never any other kind of bird at the feeders when they were there. Unusually fearless birds. When we would go out in the morning to restock the feeders and refill the water in the bird bath, these birds would never fly until we were within arms reach. Any other bird would have been long gone.
