Red Crossbills, Quabbin Park, November 14, 2010 Another nice morning in mid November found me exploring Quabbin Park and the nearby Covey WMA. I started pre dawn at Quabbin Park and ran across a nice selection of waterfowl on the various stops I made. I wanted to check the area I had Red Crossbills at yesterday to see if they were still around and indeed they were. The number had increased to at least fourteen in one flock. I managed some distant pictures with up to a dozen in the photo. In would be interesting to find out what 'type' of Red Crossbill these birds are.

Dark-eyed Junco, Covey WMA, November 14, 2010 My next stop was at Covey WMA. I turned up some nice little flocks of birds along a stream including a Fox Sparrow, two Winter Wrens and lots of Junco's, White-throated Sparrows and a few Song Sparrows among the other usual suspects.
How very exciting to see the crossbills..I havent seen any for a few years. The winter wren is a beauty!
ReplyDeleteI have been having a good year with crossbills. Always like to see Winter Wrens...but tough to get shots of many times.
ReplyDeleteNice pics. I'd love to see Red Crossbills and keep scrutinizing the tops of pines on my walks. So far no luck.
