Hi
First of all I want to thank all those that have posted information on the
crossbills on various sites. I hadn’t seen a WW Crossbill in years. Gary
Swanson formerly of the C.R. Dam has now started a weekly birding hike and this
is where he took us today to the Blue hill trail at Sherburne National Wildlife
Refuge. We found a small flock (25-35) of White Winged Crossbills about a mile
or so north on the Blue Hill trail along the pine stand area. We saw them
several times as he hiked around and through the pines. We also saw white and
red breasted nuthatches, trumpeter swans, hairy and red bellied woodpeckers,
tree sparrows and juncos. Below is a link to some photos. It was kind of
dark but I did the best i could .
