A friend and I lucked into a flock of 12+ Red Crossbills at Patuxent
Research Refuge North Tract, AA County, today at 10:00. It was at the
intersection of Wildlife Loop and access road to Lake Allen. We admired
them for 10 minutes or more before another birder appeared, Joe, who
subsequently was able to count at least 20. We had wandered off in
fruitless hope of White-winged.
No teal whatsoever at Oxbow, and I would expect it to be closed shortly if
not already, as other birders there discovered, shockingly, human remains
and summoned the police. We were obliviously unaware, but 3 AA County
Police units responded.
The Trumpeter was present at Cash Lake, South Tract.
