Hello Ontbirders.

Thanks to some great weather, and cooperative birds, we had a fantastic
day birding around Kingston and Amherst Island.

In addition to many of the great birds mentioned in various posts from
today, we had a female Red Crossbill in the Owl Woods. It was working
the tops of the spruce trees, while avoiding the more common cedar and
Jack Pine.
