On Saturday morning, I followed up on Matt's post about the Crossbills at the Carroll Cemetery. I didn't see them in the tree described by Matt but then a grave was being dug nearby. I did find them in a tree to the southwest of that location though. Or maybe I should say I ran into Shaun Chandler who pointed out the Crossbills to me. I would guess there were 15 - 20 of them feeding high in a spruce tree. The ground was littered with small cones and new cones were constantly falling to the ground as the birds fed.
