I was scouting the Pine Ridge Golf Course parking lot near the club house
on Friday, Feb 6.  I was there between 1:15 and 2:00 p.m.  One flock of
about 15 red crossbills flew over, calling.

I spent that morning at Connawingo.  One adult LBBG, and one bonaparte's. 
It was a fun day for bald eagles -- I saw at least 16 (8 adults, 8
immatures).
