Highlights: White-winged Crossbill

Well, the official field seasons for 2007 came to an end yesterday. Nova and I will however be here until mid December. We will continue birding the Point and will periodically post sightings. A few new birds for the season were spotted by Nova over the last few days; Eastern Bluebird and Cooper's Hawk. There have been no big changes in the woods, but the feeders continue to be productive. Feeder birds have included Northern Cardinal, Pine & Evening Grosbeak, and Common & Hoary Redpoll. The above photo is of a Red-tailed Hawk.
For those who may be interested, I will be posting some of my favorite photos taken at the Point this spring, summer and fall. This will take a bit of sorting and editing, but I hope to start getting some up in a week or so.

Will the feeders at the point be maintained until mid-December as well?

Also, what sort of numbers are you seeing with the Grosbeaks?

EXCELLENT PHOTOS!! wow!! i am particularly fond of the birds of prey, and i enjoy seeing your shots HERE because.. well.. all it tells me really [as a beginner] is that the red-tails have too many different colorations to tell them apart from the other hawks their size right away.. LOL!
