We just observed 7 White-winged Crossbills at Druid Ridge Cemetery. They are on the west side of the cemetery near the large Boteler Davids tomb.

As a refresher for potential crossbill-seekers, Druid Ridge Cemetery is just  
south of I-695 (the Baltimore Beltway) between Reisterstown Rd and Park  
Heights Ave, both of which have Beltway exits in the Pikesville area (NW  
part of the Beltway). The main entrance is on Park Heights Ave, but there is  
also one off Reisterstown Rd. 
 
The White-winged Crossbills were in the same location as the Pine Siskins a  
few months ago: at the west end of the long row of hemlocks on the north  
side of Druid Ridge Cemetery, about 1/4 mile east of Reisterstown Road,  
especially near the intersection just west of the tall "Tunstall"  
gravestone. I was there from about 2 to 4 PM. Several times they flew east  
towards Park Heights Ave but returned to the same spot. When I first met up  
with Keith, they stayed there for about 45 minutes! The later visits were  
much briefer. 
 
Funny thing, I was there a few hours earlier, but missed them. Thanks for  
finding these guys finally, Keith!
