Thursday I finally got a chance to head out to Greenlawn Cemetery in Columbus to hunt for the White-winged Crossbills. Arriving around 10:45 a.m., I started at the Bridge. At about 11:10, I heard a call I'd listened to on the Cornell website the night before. Looking up, I saw a single bird fly to the top of the tallest evergreen on the east side of the bridge. It sat there for about a minute, vocalizing, before dropping down into the tree. It was either a female or immature male, but I was looking toward the south and up into a bright sky, so the "color" was not distinct, although the strong white wing bars and crossed beak were. I circled to the south side of the bridge, but could never refind the bird through the maze of branches on the south ridge. I hunted through the Cemetery for another two hours, examining conifer seed cones with the windows down (thankfully it was warmer than recent days. I didn't see or hear any other activity, although I saw other birders looking. A Division of Wildlife guy with a video camera got my hopes up, but eventually he started filming a hole 30' up a tree with some screeching raccoons sticking their heads out.
