I had trouble finding the spot so I will try to describe the location better. I turned off Wirth Parkway toward Eloise Butler and parked at the Eloise Butler entrance, walked back down the hill toward the swimming beach and turned right on the first trail toward the swimming beach. I believe it might be better to park at the swimming beach and walk up the trail to the right of the pond/ wetland. The spot is half-way between the swimming beach and the road to Eloise Butler, where water is leaking across the path.

I then proceeded to Eloise Butler to look for the crossbills. I had a little trouble finding the spot but finally did. After waiting an hour, at 6pm the noisy red crossbills twice flew low over the spot reported but did not land while I was there. At least 25 including males. Also at this site olive-sided flycatchers, gnatcatchers, female grosbeak. ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
