[Tweeters] RFI: Cassia Crossbills

[Lonnie Somer]

Hi Rachel,

Several years ago I saw a flock of Cassia Crossbill (before they split into
their own species) at Diamondfield Jack Campground.  I just checked eBird
and there have been a number of sightings of the species there in April,
the most recent being on the 19th.  So they're still there.  The site is
located in the Sawtooth National Forest, if I remember correctly, about an
hour south of Twin Falls.
