Observation details
Large flock of birds landed in Spruce trees near where I was parked. Unable to get photos of birds in the trees, but I managed to get a photo of the flock as they flew away. 97 is probably an under estimate because all birds were not in the frame. Males and females noted; multiple and very loud/vocal with "chif/peet" calls. Under-exposed photos of flock as it flew off to the south. Texted MW who lives in area and he advised he saw 2 flocks of crossbills fly by just a few minutes later numbering approximately 30 and 40 respectively.
