I need to correct my previous post - the bird is a white-winged crossbill. I will post a couple of photos later.

It fed steadily for 5 minutes and I snapped off some very poor shots through a wet window and then a squirrel chased off all the birds. I live on the south end of Easton near the YMCA so others should keep a lookout. I'll post a few pictures later if they are any good. I'm off to work now but will check again at lunch.
