I saw white winged crossbills on MT Abe this morning, June, 15 at 7:00 AM  
upon completion of my VINs mt birdwatch looking for bicknells...of which there  
were quite a few this year. There were two crossbills noisily flying around  
each other. One landed in a very nearby tree and I had a good long look.  
Unmistakably a white winged crossbill. Looked like the first year  male. Absolutely 
no winter wrens, chickadees or kinglets, few juncos  (where did the ones from 
spring all go???). The calmest day I've ever had  up there...no wind, very 
clear.
