Birders, this report appeared on the NY State Birding Listerve today of 10 White-winged Crossbills in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.
10 White-winged Crossbills,males and females feeding in the Eastern/Canadian Hemlock at the path across the Fragrance Garden.Standing under the tree, observing the birds enjoying their feast, the small cones of the tree rained down on me.
Remember, the garden is closed on Mondays for the public but open Tuesdays through Sundays.
Enjoy,
Deboira Amos
Just a note: The Garden Charges 8 dollars admission fee...so..these nomadic birds could be there ....If you have a membership, it helps. Otherwise, if no WWXbills, enjoy the garden,its a beautiful place with a great cafe..If you need a BBG map, check the menu there ----->>>>>> Good luck
