We observed flock of 14 WW Crossbills actively feeding tree tops of tall
conifers. They were noisy and flew frequently from one tree to the next
near the west gate.

Subject: Re: [Ohio-birds] Greenlawn Common Redpolls, Columbus
The birds must have read my post. A single common redpoll showed up at my
feeder (near OSU) after the rain cleared out and has been feeding off and on
for an hour. A yard bird first.

the sunflower seed feeder, in the trees, and foraging on the ground. They
remained for the full hour I was there. There were many woodpeckers, and
multiples of everything except the mockingbird and crow. With five feeders,
the ground, and the trees to scan, there was action everywhere I looked.
Delightful way to break up the cloudy afternoon.
