**After looking for the Ross's Goose, I checked my email via my sister's old laptop to see if the geese reported earlier today and was not seen since the day before. Afterward, I made a quick drive down to Wrighton Rd again after getting better direction and found one female WW Crossbill near the ballfield. Thanks Mikey!!
