Käpylinnun pesällä - At Crossbill´s nest

Värriö research station had visitors from Hokkaido University, Japan. On the northern slope pf Varrio fell (peak I) we had a discussion about population ecology of Common crossbill (Loxia curvirostra). Mr. Teuvo Hietajarvi (on the stairs) presented an occupied nest, in which the chics were well developing, despite cold and foggy weather.
