I don't know you--and already tried sending you a private email but it came back as undeliverable-- but your email is needlessly negative and offensive. It was not necessary to call people sheep and chasers. Birders I personally know, including me, are trying to find crossbills on their own.

The extent of the invasion should be documented.
