First time to see the red crossbills in my yard, I was wonderfully suprised. I was even more suprised that I was able to get really close, they just kept eating the sunflower seeds :).

The pine siskins had pretty much dominated my feeder, they are very aggressive and they would fight the crossbills from time to time.

#4 Pine Siskin

There will be days when you get the shot(s) you missed days, months or years before.
