At noon today (Dec 26, 08) I observed conservatively 1500 and as many as 2000 White-winged Crossbills on the 4th Concession W of Flamborough 0.9 km west of Brock Rd. They were attending a large stand of Spruce at the north exit to Flamboro Downs race track. It's very possible that the numbers given above are understated.
Terry Osborne DIRECTIONS: From Clappison's Corners (Hwy 5 & Hwy 6) go west to Brock Rd aproximately 6 km. Go north to the 4th Concession W and proceed westerly 0.9 km. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
