Red Crossbills & Red Breasted Sapsuckers

I have posted recently that Red Crossbills have been courting in the tops of the tall Ponderosa Pines in front of our cabin. Yesterday a pair came done to the Black Thistle feeders on our deck. So close that you could see their crossed bills without binoculars.

About the same time a beautiful Red Breasted Sapsucker landed on the corner post of our porch and began searching for insects. Again, at very close range.

The Bald Eagles continued their everyday appearances.
