I would guess >20 people have seen the White-winged crossbill this morning; he's being cooperative by feeding on the thistle feeders for 5-10 minutes at a time.  And when he's not there, he's often in the nearby tulip poplars preening or looking for seeds.
   
  For those that haven't made it here yet, for the last week, he has been most reliable between 7:15-10am each morning.  I'll keep on fillin' the thistle socks for ya!

"There are some who can live without wild things, and some who cannot...like winds and sunsets, wild things were taken for granted until progress began to do away with them. Now we face the question whether a still higher 'standard of living' is worth its cost in things natural, wild, and free. For us of the minority, the opportunity to see geese is more important than television, and the chance to find a pasque-flower is a right as inalienable as free speech." 
Aldo Leopold (who else?)
