Having missed out on Howard's crossbills yesterday, I decided to scoot over to Schooley Mill Park over lunch. Within 10 minutes of leaving the lab and within 5 seconds of opening my car door, I added a new species to the Schooley park list (and to my Schooley list). A single crossbill was chattering away at the tip-top of one of the evergreens by the baseball field - provided a great profile view of the bill against the gray sky. It then flew over to the trees by the tennis court.  (And I, virtuously, returned to work.)
