All, I arrived at Greenlawn Cemetery between 1:45 and 2:00 pm. I met at least three groups of two people searching the northwest part of the cemetery in Section X. I walked this area for about 45 minutes listening for crossbill calls and checking all the hemlocks that I could find. I had no luck as did the other three groups of two that I met. Because crossbills are quite nomadic, I decided to drive around the cemetery to look for other possible feeding hemlock trees. I stopped several places with no success. I went south from Section X and found a large flock (about 100) of American Goldfinches feeding on sweet gum fruit/balls. There was at least one Pine Siskin (heard it) in this group. At the southern point of Section 57, I saw a small flock of medium sized birds fly across the road, apparently out of a spruce tree along the right side of the road and into a single isolated hemlock within Section 57, very near to the southernmost point of this section and right beside Section 66. This was about 3:00 pm. This tree has a double trunk half-way up the main trunk. The second trunk is shorter than the main one. I stopped and scanned the birds and found the White-winged Crossbills I was seeking. There were four in this small flock. One showed some pink, and I have recorded this in at least one of my photos. However, none of them were adult males. The bird with some pink was an immature bird not an adult. There was another quite yellow bird that appeared to be an immature male. The other two were either juvenile or female birds. These birds were completely silent and feeding mostly inside the tree, but occasionally fed on some outer branches. After watching them for about 15 minute and attempting some photos. I drove back to Section X looking for the three groups of two that I had met, hoping that they too could enjoy these crossbills. Unfortunately, I did not find them, but did find a man and woman on foot, who had never seen crossbills before. So, I took them back to the spot in my van, because it was too hard to describe the spot and how to get there, and they would probably not have made it in time to find them. When we arrived at the hemlock tree, the birds were still there. We enjoyed them until about 4:00 pm. There were still four birds, but we did not find a bird with significant pink. In general the light was mostly poor due to cloud cover and occasionally the sun would come out. Two birds were mostly in the top of the tree for a while, and the other two were feeding down inside the tree where it was thicker. It was challenging at times to get a good look, let alone try for photos. The birds remained silent while the three of us watched them until 4:00 pm, when I dropped them off at their car parked by the office. While I was at Greenlawn, I also heard three Yellow-bellied sapsuckers, 1 Hairy woodpecker, 1 Red-bellied Woodpecker and 1 Northern Flicker. There was one 1 flyover Cedar Waxwing and a flock of about 25 ring-billed Gulls. I will try to post any reasonable photos either later tonight or sometime tomorrow. Hope that others can also see these birds. There may be other scattered small groups in the cemetery, if the larger flock of 30 first reported has scattered into smaller groups. Jay Jay G.
