X Bill

I willed this one.  Phyllis Carlson posted a question to the UP list-serve last week about what kind of seed crossbills eat at their feeders.  The response included the spectrum of what I offer with the exception of safflower.  I've never fed with safflower but said what the heck give it a try.  The RECR and WWCR at the Chase Place have been feeding on spilled sunflower.  I figured I'd give safflower a try in hopes of putting RECR to bed at the Swamp Lair and BINGO it worked.  I bought a bag yesterday and added it to the offering this morning.  This afternoon I had a pair of RECRs eating it up.  Life Yardbird #188.
