Crossbill in the Garden |
The bird looked to be a young female Crossbill with only a slight hint of yellow showing on it's back. It spent the day happily eating on my peanut feeder as I cut the grass with my loud and noisy lawn mower. The bird was very obliging as I and other passing birdwatcher could stand a few feet away and take photos. Obviously the crossbill had not yet learned that it should fly away or "duck and cover" when ever a birdwatcher is around

This is a new one on me... Has anyone seen Crossbills eat on a peanut feeder like this? |
