The red berries which Darius Ecker noted the Crossbills were eating (see his
earlier report),  I believe, are Winterberries (Ilex verticillata) our native
deciduous holly.  A little after noon, four White -Wings appeared at the same
place, i.e, the west end of the pines.  Also, Red-Breasted Nuthatches and Pine
Siskins were around during the morning.

Thanks to all who alerted us to this Crossbill invasion.
