Susan Ruth Marengo [log in to unmask] asked me to forward this news: Just had a flock of 10-15 white winged cross bills descend on my hemlock tree in the back yard in the middle of ultra-suburbia Cleveland Heights. Very tame, very entertaining and quite beautiful. Hopefully the little beggers will not descend to the ground-- my cats have their own "bird list" with 11 species. Hope your Thanksgiving table was laden with food and crowded with guests Susan Ruth Marengo Northeast Cleveland Heights -- just south of America's North Coast.
