Headed to Green Lawn for a short lunch break in hopes of finding the Common Redpoll reported yesterday--no luck. However, almost as soon as I entered the park I observed approximately 6 White-winged Crossbills in Section I. Moments later, another flock (of about 9) landed at the top of a conifer about 100 yards to the west (Island 4). Finally, the two groups combined a bit further to the north (Section G) at which time I counted at least 18. I also heard a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker in this area. At the feeder, there were 1-2 White-throated Sparrows and 1 White-crowned Sparrow in addition to the usual suspects. The highlight was a Red-breasted Nuthatch that made a very brief appearance. Good birding to all. Mike Yough Glen Echo/Columbus -- "Prosperity knits a man to the world. He feels he is 'finding his place in it,' while really it is finding its place in him." -C.S.
