3/11 posting from Rob Jett on GWC WWXbill
Yesterday I almost stepped on a White-winged Crossbill in Green-Wood Cemetery. I ended up sitting down on the ground and shooting this video with my Canon point & shoot (don't mind the shaky cam, it's an effect):

Gives new meaning to, there's so many of them that they are "fallin' out of the trees". According to Joe Borker, it was a first for Green-Wood, which I find hard to believe given that there are so many good conifers.
