I was at Pine Nob road at noon yesterday. After a windy wait of about 20 minutes, a flock of 20+ Red Crossbills came sweeping over the road, turned and returned to the pines up the hill out of sight. I heard them occasionally for the next few minutes and then the flock, now about 30 to 35 birds flew out over the road, calling noisily and then disappeared for good. I also checked watershed HQ and Deer Park Road with no results. Lou Nielsen clodvigii@aol.com Reisterstown, MD
