I saw red crossbills last summer at Wiseman's View (Linville Gorge
area). I know that the south side of Linville Gorge used to be an area
where red crossbills were seen routinely, and judging from last summer's
experience, I suppose that it still is.
I imagine that area is the lowest elevation where red crossbill's
breed in NC (approx. 3000 ft.). The steepness of the north facing slope no
doubt accounts for that.
