The WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILL returned briefly today.  The bird showed up at
feeders near the garage at around noon.  It only stayed a few minutes.
There were about 10 house finches today also, the most since Jan 1 when the
crossbill was last seen.   Evidently the crossbill must be using another
feeding station in the area.  There were no redpolls or siskins today.  So
much for thinking the redpolls will come back once we get snow and cold.

Also of interest, there was a flock of 9 cedar waxwings that showed this
afternoon.  They sat in the same brush as the flock that had the Bohemian
waxwings last week.  Unfortunately only cedars today.
