A small group of 5-6 White-winged Crossbills were found today (finally!) in the Oakland Cemetery in Hutchinson, MN. They were in the same spruce tree in the middle of the cemetery where they were found 2 (or was it 3?) years ago. There were probably a couple dozen Pine Siskins also in the area.
The Carolina Wren first reported by Roger and Tammy Field on 12/26 at their rural place just north of Hutch also was refound this morning (Jan. 3). It seems quite content there, with good shelter and food supply and probably 30-40 or more Redpoll companions.
