Birders,

As I arrived home today, 25 or so WW crossbills were feeding in the cone
crop at the very top of a Norway Spruce in my yard, completely ignoring
the hemlocks.  My house is maybe 2000 yards from the Harriet Keeler
woods in Brecksville Reservation.

Interestingly, last year or two years ago I found white winged
crossbills in the UP, and  up there they were singing, which was
(obviously) quite different from the call notes I heard in the yard today.

best,

Bill
