The presence of relatively large numbers of these birds in our area has created lots of excitement. Included in my images was one showing at least 18 birds in a single tree, both males and females. Great way to capture a life bird. http://www.pbase.com/nsxbirder/white_winged_crossbill ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
