Observation details
An nice surprise! They first flew straight over my head around 7 am giving classic jip jip calls however they quickly flew over the treeline to the south and I wasn't able to track them down. Fortunately, about 5 minutes later they took flight from the conifers at the south end of the arboretum and looped around giving more jip calls. At that point they settled into the top of some sort of fir and foraged on the cones for a few minutes and gave nice views. At least one male and one female-type. Male entirely dull red and female-type a dusky yellow-brown with darker wings; all had distinctly crossed bills.
