Green Lawn Cemetery: 25-30 were present today at 4pm. They were flying
around quite a bit, at one point flushed by a failed attack by a Coop, but
the did seem to show a preference for Eastern Hemlock.  To find them, take
a stroll anywhere north of the Mausoleum and east of area J (basically
anywhere north of the Mausoleum with a decent density of conifers), and
keep your ears open!

Remember, check those WWCR flocks for RED CROSSBILLS!

If you have recording equipment (sometimes a video camera is good enough!),
and there are reliable Red Crossbills in your area, try and get some
recordings!  I know Matt Young would love to have some recordings from Ohio
this fall but so far, I haven't heard of any recordings.
