HI all,


  I was unable to reach anyone in MD to spread the word, none answer my call.  Earlier today, Paul Noell and I did our annual weekly reservoir walk at Prettyboy Reservoir.   After seeing small flock of WW Crossbills, we noticed an male crossbill with darker red overall than White-winged and unmarked black wings. It was hanging out with 10 WW and then 12 more WW arrive spooked the flock of 10 to other trees and then 3 more WW landed with a total of 25 WW and 1 Red Crossbills.

  Location is on Gunpowder Loop (trail) on left wide of Gunpowder Rd just pass the Hoffmanville Cemetery. Path looks like a loading ramp goes upward and you keep walking till you see a field on the left, farther down and you'll see small row of larch trees with small cones on the right. They could be anywhere in those trees. 

  Full list to come up later
