Edna Armstrong and I along with her parents had a grand day at Woodlawn Cemetery in Toledo on Monday afternoon. 1. White-winged Crossbill - 60+ birds. They would split-up in small groups and head in all directions. Most fed on Hemlock seeds but several small groups were eating seeds from the spruce tree cones. 2. Common Redpoll - about 10 birds eating seeds from the Sweet Gum Tree pods. 3. Pine Siskin - about 10 birds eating right along with the Common Redpolls. 4. American Goldfinch - about 30 birds again, eating Sweet Gum seeds. 5. Rough-legged Hawk - a beautiful dark morph adult soared by around 1:30 pm. 6. Merlin - an adult male sitting on top of a huge Sycamore tree. 7. Red-tailed Hawk - 1 adult and 1 immature bird. 8. Cooper's Hawk - 1 chasing the crossbills around; darn that bird! 9. Great Blue Heron - 1 sitting in a tree. 10. Red-bellied Woodpecker - 1 seen flying. 11. Dark-eyed Junco - a huge group sitting on the snow. 12. A. Tree Sparrow -many along with the juncos. 13. Northern Cardinal - awesome bright red males in the snow. 14. American Robins - several fly-over birds. 15. Northern Flicker - one calling from a huge oak tree. 16.
