Since I saw them in the eastern (the side opposite the office, anyway) of 
Soldiers Delight several years ago, that would be the most likely place (I 
know of, anyway). Lots of pines with cones is what you want and that area 
definitely qualifies. They move around quickly (like Waxwings -- strip a 
tree and go find the next one).

Good luck,

Subject: [MDOSPREY] Most likely MD location for RED CROSSBILL?


I noticed on the DE Listserve that Red Crossbills were reported at the 
Ashland
Nature Center in Hockessin, Delaware, which is about 10 miles from Cecil
County Maryland:

A"t the Ashland Hawk Watch, 6 RED CROSSBILLS were reported today. A peak
count of 27 PURPLE FINCH was reported on Wednesday. 10 EVENING
GROSBEAKS flew over there on Tuesday. PINE SISKIN, AMERICAN PIPIT, and
FOX SPARROW were also reported."

I was wondering if anyone could venture a guess as to specific places to 
look
for them in Maryland? Thank you in advance and please email me at
