Finding the Red Crossbills wasn't an easy task. Our driver Kim Blythe had 
fog to contend with on the narrow winding road into the park. We envisioned 
birders with scopes focused on the crossbills when we arrived at Monument 
and Vista trail. We were the only three on that hill with so many pine 
trees, and none of us knew what a Ponderosa Pine looked like!!

Dozens of Red-breasted Nuthatches and a few Hairy Woodpeckers sufficed 
until the noisy Red Crossbills finally flew in. The sun broke through the 
fog and we had great looks at two flocks containing at least 50 birds. Even 
a few Pine Siskins were seen and heard. Then a small flock of Cedar 
Waxwings flew into the tree with the Crossbills. A beautiful first year 
Golden Eagle was seen soaring overhead on the way back down the trail.
