All, An immature male WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILL is frequenting a private feeder in Enfield, just west of the intersection of Sheffield Road and Enfield Center Road. The homeowner reported this bird to eBird a few days ago. I have not spoken with her, but I was able to see the bird from the road this morning. It flew in and landed in a tree between Sheffield Road and Hedgerow Drive. It stayed there calling for several minutes, then flew up to a tamarack to feed. We did not see it visit the feeder, but it has apparently been coming for several days. Its head and upperparts were quite red, but the underparts were brownish and streaked.
