Birders,
Sunday was a great day for a couple of winter finches. I thought I'd be the
only person in Ohio that has not seen White-winged crossbills this winter.
If I chase, they are not there (just my luck). But Sunday, Terri Martincic
and I were going out in the Middleburg Hts. and Berea areas and first, Terri
sees a Common Redpoll at the thistle feeder in my yard (Middleburg Hts.)
Woo-hoo! As we tromped around some potential crossbill areas
(pines/spruces loaded with cones) nary a crossbill. We walked in a suburban
neighborhood near Berea High School and a flock of 20 to 25 crossbills land,
stay for a few seconds then take off. We definitely saw some White-winged,
but some were darker. We could have been looking at them at a poor angle,
but any reports of Red crossbills? Do they hang together?
