Although White-winged Crossbills have been widely reported, I thought this sighting was particularly interesting, if a little sad. A male was found dead on the sidewalk in downtown Ottawa close to the corner of Queen Street and Bank Street early in the afternoon on january 12th - probably killed by collision with a window or a car. Crossbills really are everywhere this year!
