Joe Halpin writes, regarding crossbills: > To others: have there been any sightings in Montgomery County? I believe Paul O'Brien had a flock fly over his house in Rockville, back in early December, Joe. Additionally there was a small flock of Red Crossbills reported from the Seneca CBC on December 21. I believe I heard the birds were spotted at the intersection of River Road and Hughes Road. How was your Texas trip, by the way, Joe?
