MDO:

I hope this isn't too redundant, but...

Jane Kostenko, Jim Stasz and I had both RED and WHITE-WINGED
CROSSBILLS along Deer Park Rd. about 1/4 mile west of the
bridge over Liberty Lake between about 12:20 pm and when
Jane and I left Jim, with the birds, at about 1:00 pm. We
also tried at the Reservoir Natural Resources Office without
luck from about 9:30 until 11:00. Another birder had been
there from about 7:30 until we arrived, also with no luck.

The flock of crossbills was about 45+ in number with at least
6 White-wingeds in the mix.

Good Birding and Merry Christmas!
