I birded at the Broad Creek Scout Camp location in Harford Co., from 0830 to
1230 today (Tuesday, 12/23/97). Marshall Iliff and George Jett were with me
from about 1000 on.

There was a flock of 6 Red Crossbills of and on all morning in the pines
"behind" the Lucinda Jacobs Health Lodge (actually several pine standing,
extending all the way down the hill).  Single and 4 fly-overs give a total of
6-11 for the day. No white-wings.

Other species of interest include 1 Pine Warbler, 3 Fox Sparrows, and 1 Pine
Siskin.

(Marshall and George also had several Red Crossbills and a flock of 20+ White-
wings along Deer Park Rd. just W of Liberty Reservior, (Carroll Co., MD), just
N of the power line crossing nearest the Reservior, in the morning.)
