Crossbill INVASION

What do the Canada Wildfires have to do with birding? Ask a Crossbill. The Red Crossbill is a VERY unique species with the tendency to erupt in areas they do not usually inhabit. But why is it happening now?

Hi, guys! Thanks for this very timely video. It's especially interesting to me having seen a lot of RECR in both Barry and Lake counties this month. I wonder if your theories mean we should also be looking for Bohemian waxwings and pine grosbeaks in these areas right now, too.

Saw one in the uk in Thetford. Forest in Suffolk, a male singing on top of a Scot’s pine tree , we have three other species, Scottish crossbill a sub species and the rarer Two barred crossbill and parrot crossbill
