Hi Allen,
A juvenile Red Crossbill recently visited the feeder of a private homeowner
in the Babler State Park area of St Louis County.
I was fortunate enough to be able to see and photograph this rarity (though
a window) on July 16 with maybe 15 others. My photos are below in case you
would like to use them.
