This morning I sucessfully added Crawford Co. to the WWXBill state sighting list as 8 inds. were seen at the Fairview cemetery in Galion, Ohio. They were feeding solely on the cones of the white pines that are in the cemetery. There were 5 males and 3 females.

This cemetery has some excelent conifer plantings and had a few other notable birds also.

Wild Turkey  16
Cooper's Hawk  1
Sharp Shinned Hawk  1
Red Breasted Nuthatch  1
Pine Siskin  1  

I'll try to add crossbills in Marion, Morrow, and Hardin Co. later this week.
