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,
