Subject: [MDBirding] 5 WW Crossbills Rocky Gap SP


Well I struck out looking for these on Sunday spending about 30 minutes
looking. I had them within 2 minutes of starting my list this morning. I
pulled into the "golf only" parking lot and turned off the stereo and heard
a group of crossbills before I even got out of the car.
