As an addendum to all this great info -- saw many WWCR in sweetgum trees (Liquidambar styraciflua) in Lake View Cemetery, Cleveland, fall/winter 2012-13, gorging themselves on the fruit (those spiny, but apparently delectable, seed balls).  Also saw them in sweetgums at the Bertram Woods Library in Shaker Heights, rather consistently.
Bird on!

Hey Steve, Ohio Birders:

Don't forget to try Norway Spruces--Red Crossbills love them!  I do not
know if Ohio State Parks or Forest Service folks plant them in big numbers,
but Massachusetts, New York, and New Hampshire did in the past.  These
spots this time of year often load up with crossbills (even better a bit
later) so if you have big groves of Norways give 'em a look too!

Best,

Tim Spahr
