Okay, this is getting ridiculous; this bird is really lost.  The male White-winged Crossbill that was first seen December 2, 2007 was seen again at my house off Sligo Creek Pkwy on Saturday, Apr 19th.  Before that, last seen on Apr 10th.  

Female purple finch still visiting as well.  I don't recommend trying for the WWCR anymore as it is highly irregular and it's difficult to see the feeders from the viewing area since the foliage emerged.

Best,

"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."
