Though it was great to see a variety of ducks, including the American Coot below, and to listen to the frequently calling Red – shouldered Hawk, it was really the flock of about 25 Red Crossbills, flying and calling overhead and finally landing in some close pines to feed, that was the highlight of today’s winter walk.
