Jan. 28, 2009 Greetings fellow birders: While teaching my students winter plant field identification techniques at our Biological Field School, near Aylmer, Ontario we spotted a flock of about 15 White winged crossbills flying over. Crossbills have been regularly seen at our school since November. The birds were seen at approximately 2:30 pm in the afternoon. To get there from Highway #3 drive toward Aylmer from St. Thomas on Highway #3. At Rogers Rd. S., turn right, heading south. Continue driving south on Rogers Rd. S., approximately 1.5 km to Conservation Line at the stop sign. Proceed through the stop sign to the third entrance on the left, or east side. This is the entrance to Pinecroft, known for it's bed & breakfast as well as pottery and teahouse.
