To those interested, the White-winged Crossbills were relocated today (although apparently not this morning) by birders and photographers at the TwinWest Chamber of Commerce off of Old County Road 15 in Plymouth (Hennepin Co.) Unfortunately, one of the crossbills is sick, which I suppose provided excellent photography oppertunities.
I also heard of another couple who were unable to find them there, but instead found them a bit southeastward of this location: "A small flock were in the spruce trees along Shelard Parkway (West from 169). We parked in the parking lot of the Willow Creek 12 Theaters." As shown by this observation, and as I mentioned earlier, the flock obviously wanders to other spruces planted along Highway 55. I never knew dropping off scholarship forms at TwinWest could be so exciting. Good birding- Alyssa DeRubeis Golden Valley, MN P.S. Let my know if you find any White-winged Crossbills in Golden Valley so I can add them to my city list! So close, yet so far away... ---- Join or Leave mou-net:http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives:http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
