The Red Crossbills are still here, circling around between Legoland Drive pines and pines throughout north parking lots on Fleet St. approximately here: (33.1301987, -117.3147033)
I was standing in the Islands Corporate offices parking lot when I heard them and then saw two groups of about 30 each circling overhead. They ended up flying back over near Legoland and I haven’t seen them now for 15 minutes so perhaps they settled back down over there, where they were originally found.

Just an update, there are probably upwards of 100, and a few of us at the Canada Warbler spot south of Legoland saw and heard flyovers of up to 55 an hour before this report. We walked over to this exact spot just now: (33.1278514, -117.3146668) and there were tons of crossbills and nuthatches first mainly on the east side of Legoland Dr, then flew over to the east pines.
