hello all it's been a long time since I've had anything to add. I've been
following the crossbill irruption for a while and of course keeping an eye
on every cone-bearing tree for our latest visitors. I soometimes think my
area of the state is a bit barren bird-wise when I see some of the
postings going up. It seems a lot of avian friends pass just to the west
of me.
However today after hiking a couple of snow-covered miles through Mill
Creek park in Youngstown, my wife and I spotted three female white-winged
crossbills in the parking lot of Fellows Riverside Garden. We also saw
several pine siskins earliers at the feeders at Ford Nature Center. The
crossbill is a lifer for me and the siskins were a rare treat. Hoping for
spring soon.
