This area is also abundant in White-winged Crossbills and a few Red Crossbills. The atlas data has been improved greatly for the Cobequid region as a result with 30+ squares now reporting breeding evidence for WW Crossbills when only a handful were reporting in early Jan. Check out this site and click on White-winged Crossbills to see squares reporting. http://www.mba-aom.ca/jsp/map.jsp?lang=en cheers ken ----- Original Message ----- From: <bdigout@seaside.ns.ca> To: <naturens@chebucto.ns.ca> Sent: Saturday, March 13, 2010 8:39 AM Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Purple finches > We had a nice male at our feeder yesterday near St. Peter's , only the > second of the winter..
