Hi all,

While hawk watching at Rockfish Gap (Augusta/Nelson County line) today I had a 
flock of 12 Red Crossbills.  I first heard them, and then spotted them, as they 
came through the gap headed southeast.  They came close giving good looks.  It 
was a group of 12 (mixed male and female-type birds).  I also had a Tundra Swan 
fly through the gap and not many raptors.

Good birding,

Gabriel Mapel
New Hope, Va
