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.
Rocky Gap SP Traveling 0.5 miles 14 Minutes Observers: 1 All birds reported? Yes 6 Mallard 1 Great Blue Heron 1 Red-bellied Woodpecker 2 Blue Jay 2 Song Sparrow 1 Northern Cardinal 3 Red-winged Blackbird 1 House Finch 5 White-winged Crossbill -- Watched them fly in calling. They stopped about 80 feet away from me in a large Virginia Pine. I clearly saw the crossed bill and two white Wing-bars on one or two of them.
