From about 2:00 to 2:30 we stopped at Druid Ridge Cemetery and were pretty 
confident we heard one or two WW Crossbills, but didn't see them. Someone 
else at the west end of the long row of hemlocks said he saw 3 while we were

by the east end.

And I reply:

I am that "someone else."  I saw and photographed two females on the very
top of a hemlock about halfway between the west end of the tree row and the
intersection by the tall "Tunstall" monument stone.  I was cued by an
unusual pipping sound, and I saw that the source of the sound was a small
yellow-ish breasted (with faint streaks) bird with bright, broad wing bars
on the tippy top of a tree.  It was joined a moment later by a second.  They
posed for photos for about a minute and then they flew off to the south.  A
third unidentified bird joined them from within the tree as they flew away.

Jeff and Steve were out of sight to the east so I could not immediately
alert them.  I hopped in my car and drove down and told them of my sighting
so that hopefully they could see the birds when they came back.

This was at about 2:30 PM yesterday, Saturday February 7th.

I'll have my photos posted in the near future.
