So nice to observe white winged crossbills today in 50+ temps. at the Oak Hill cemetery in Upper Sandusky. There were 2 groups with a total of 25 inds.
18 inds. were in the first group including 6 males. They were feeding 2 feet away on the ground by the Ayers monument on hemlock cones.
A flock of 7 flew in as I was watching the initial flock. They consisted of 2 males and 5 females.
60 Snow buntings also flew over the cemetery as I was leaving.
