Greetings,

The White-winged Crossbills were found at Centennial Park today about  
3 PM. There was a flock of about 12 birds with 2 males among them  
foraging in and beneath the spruce trees on the left hand parking area  
as you approach the playground. Several birders and another  
photographer found the flock. I watched and photographed them for  
about 20 minutes when they all flew to a bare deciduous tree near the  
concession area by the lake. They rested for about 15 minutes then  
took off for parts unknown. We were unable to relocate them. Another  
bird of note was a male Eastern Towhee near the bike/walking path that  
starts near the playground.
