Hello Andy, and other crossbill questers, I live nearby the Liberty Lake crossbills, and I have tried to keep up with them, either in person or by talking with other birders. Pine Knob Rd seems to be the best site lately. Although crossbills have been seen there at almost any time of day, it seems that most of the sightings have been between 8:00 and 11:00 in the last few weeks, and thinning out, unfortunately. (I also encountered some about a mile or two south of there two and three weekends ago.) The Deer Park Rd site always seemed to be best in fairly early morning, and not very productive lately, although I did hear of a sighting of a few Red Crossbills there last weekend. Good luck on your chase, and keep us posted. -- Steve Sanford Randallstown MD tanager@mail.bcpl.lib.md.us
