Today at about noon I observed a male White-winged Crossbill perched atop a dead Tamarack at the far end of the trail that heads east from the Linwood Lake boat access. I had a clear view of the bird for about 1 minute a distance of 20 yards. All pertinent field marks were observed, pink body, broad white wing-bars on black wings, crossed bill. Eventually the bird flew to the south, calling as it went. 20 species of warblers were observed on my walk to the end of the trail and back, American Redstarts were the most abundant species. Highlights included 5 Northern Parula, single Orange-Crowned, Blackpoll, Golden-winged, Canada. Doug Kieser =20 Minneapolis
