I was just northwest of Huguenot, driving on Franke Road, when I luckily spotted a bird on the road and slowed to a stop before flushing it. I picked my bins up, and sure enough, it was a male RED CROSSBILL, gritting on the road. It was a brief, but very exciting encounter &#8211; after about 3o seconds the bird flew. I tried to stay on it, but it went quite a distance and I lost it in the tree line. I&#8217;m not sure if this totally satisfies this crossbill itch I have, but it certainly beats a flyover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/022424-RECR-3-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/022424-RECR-3-2-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13197\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/022424-RECR-3-2-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/022424-RECR-3-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/022424-RECR-3-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/022424-RECR-3-2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/022424-RECR-3-2-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/022424-RECR-3-2-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/022424-RECR-3-2.jpg 1808w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">~Male Red Crossbill gritting on the road in Huguenot NY, 02\/24\/24.~<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/022424-RECR-2-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/022424-RECR-2-1-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/022424-RECR-2-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/022424-RECR-2-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/022424-RECR-2-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/022424-RECR-2-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/022424-RECR-2-1-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/022424-RECR-2-1-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/022424-RECR-2-1.jpg 1784w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">~RECR in OC, 02\/24\/24.~<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, it took many miles and several trips out to the Port Jervis area, but I was finally able to get more than just a flyover look at a RED CROSSBILL.
