Today a small flock of Red Crossbills spent a brief period around our 
property in Coldbrook. Although a number of years ago they were not 
uncommon in our area, in recent years seeing them once a year is now 
the norm. I'm not aware of any place in NS where they are reliable 
now. If anyone is aware of such, please let me (and others) know.

I checked their population status and learned their numbers are 
stable throughout their range. I wonder how such a nomadic species 
can be assessed accurately.

Angus
