Crossbills with Caid

I have not done a ton of birding lately.  And I'm not complaining about it, either.  You see there is a very good reason for my lack of birding time, and here he is:

That's me with my son, Kincaid Mark.  He was born on June 6, 2012 and weighed 8 lbs. 14 oz.!  As you can see from the picture, our shirts are pretty familiar.  That's because my beautiful wife Tiffany made shirts for the two of us.  Under the images, the shirt reads "Eat, Sleep, Bird."
There is a very good reason we are both wearing the shirts for the first time: Caid went on his first birding trip with me.  After getting back from Michigan, I found out that Henry Armknecht had Red Crossbills coming to his feeders, crossbills in July!  Tiff and I agreed that it would be a great time for me to expose Caid to the wonderful world of birding.  So I packed him up and drove to Osborne.  It started to rain as I reached Osborne, so I was a bit skeptical of our chances.  As I drove up to Henry's house, I noticed another birder sitting with Henry.  It turned out that it was the eBird reviewer, Jon King.  They said that the birds were still around, but because of the rain, were probably sitting still somehwere.  After awhile, the rain let up and the birds returned.  A successful mission with my son, Caid!  He's my new lucky charm!
