Hi all,
�Well, I almost didn't go to the North Tract today-seeing the slow traffic on the B/W Pkwy, but I went anyway after observing the Trumpeter Swan on Cash Lake. Wasn't feeling very optimistic
after looking in another location earlier in the day.
�Parked down by Pine Trail 2nd entrance and walked back up the road. A lady drove by said the some crossbills were just seen 10 minutes ago. Pretty soon a small group of us birders converged on a spot near the end of the fence and the short pines there were the Red Crossbills! Some of them did the 'jit' 'jit" call
Saw 1 White-winged too. I think everyone got decent looks. They stayed in the Virgina Pines the entire time some of them going to the backside of the trees where it was sunny.
�Hurray!
