While walking down the J-walk today at Ohio Wesleyan I heard a soft, but rapid "tidik tidik." Within the next 20 seconds a beautiful male WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILL flew overheard, in the sunlight, showing his bright red body and white wingbars. It was only flying treetop level, so I was graced with a rather spectacular sighting. The bird continued flying and never landed. While rather pleased with such a lucky encounter, I am not terribly surprised, as there are multiple pine stands around campus. They are here!
