We arrived at the spot around 11 a.m. and the Crossbills arrived right on
cue. As soon as we walked past the gate they flew overhead and landed in a
sweet gum tree to the left of the path. Lighting was poor, however we were
able to get good looks through our scope. They were soon joined by a flock
of Cedar Waxwings. How cool is that?!
Afterwards we made our usual trek to Big Woods Rd where we were greeted by a
Bald Eagle perched by the roadside. Even non-birders were stopping to look.
We also saw a couple of Red-Shouldered Hawks and a Pileated Woodpecker while
there.
