We found a flock of 20 Red Crossbills and at least one brilliant male White-winged Crossbill along Pine Knob Road this morning. Pine Knob Road is just east of Rt 32, near Liberty Reservoir in Carrol County. Crossbills had not been reported from this spot before, but it is near the Liberty Reservior and the other locations where crossbills are currently being reported. We just parked along the road and viewed the birds from there. To get to this location, Rt 32 north from Liberty Rd (Rt 26). Then east on Pine Knob Rd until you come to the obvious pine grove with the good cone crop. Note - if you've been to Oakland Mill Rd. the Mineral Rd turns into Pine Knob Road. Good Birding, Darius & Paula Ecker (dariuse@abs.net)
