Subject: [MDBirding] Red Crossbills - Crest Lawn Memorial Gardens


Hi all,

I see from ebird reports that both red and white-winged crossbills continue
today at Crest Lawn Memorial Gardens in Howard County. I just wanted to
post that yesterday, Victoria Fisher, Bill Hill and I had one perched red
crossbill in the thick fog. Victoria was able to get some photos while I
got an audio recording of the bird. The perched bird has been confirmed as
Type 3. However, while listening to my recording - Matt Young thinks he
picked up a calling Type 2 as well. I'm not sure it can be confirmed at
this point, but I just wanted to send a reminder for everyone to try and
record these guys if possible. Type 3 has been the predominant type this
irruption but type 10 and a few type 2's have been noted in our area as
well.

best,

Jared Fisher
Bethesda, MD
