Hello All, After read the post on Cross bills in Kent I had to check it out for myself. They were not located near the front entrance nor withing the cemetery grounds. I found them in the back woodlot among the Sweetgums and some pine trees scatter within the woodlot. I first heard the call, then I was able to located the birds flying between the hardwoods and pine trees. Addition species seen Dark-eyed Junco N.
