Observation details

Irruption year, and western MD seems to be getting the majority with very few being reported in the rest of the state. While listening for crossbills, we heard two very faint EVGR "clear" calls along the entrance road. I expected to maybe see a flyover, but was thrilled to see an entire flock feeding in a tall and isolated hemlock, like ornaments on a giant Christmas tree. We scoped them for a bit - most were female-types, but we picked out at least one adult male. The birds picked up and flew farther back into the treeline along the 4H Camp entrance road. Jake counted 10 and 16 in two separate groups.
