    On Las Trampas Road in Lafayette, 100 yards north of
    the intersection at Glenside, I found a juvenile
    (probably female)red crossbill panting in distress in
    the middle of the road.  After reviving it with water
    and cooling, I returned it to the wooded area nearby,
    where we could hear lots of peeping, presumably from
    the nest.  I have never seen this species in my
    over-20 years living here.  Has anyone else?
