Another flock of about 20 white-winged crossbills was seen about the same
time in my front yard at 1113 Country Drive in Winona. This is in Gilmore
Valley west of St Marys

Subject: [mou-net] White-winged Crossbills, Winona County
At about noon Monday, I found a flock of about 20 White-winged Crossbills in
rural Winona County.
I would recommend using Mapquest over Googlemaps for navigational purposes.
Googlemaps has roads mislabeled in this case.
From the town of Homer, which is just downriver from Winona on Hwy 61, head
south on County Road 15. This steep, paved road winds it's way up to farm
country, and eventually comes to a T, wherein a left will keep you on 15 and
a right will be Pleasant Ridge Rd. At this T, there are a few driveways and
fire #s. A quick left (keeping you on 15) will bring you to Fire # 26161.
At the south edge of the farmstead, there is a shelterbelt of spruce set
back from the road about 50 yards behind a small corral. The birds were
foraging in these spruces.
I would recommend using Mapquest over Googlemaps for navigational purposes.
Googlemaps has roads mislabeled in this case. Note that MapQuest has
Pleasant Ridge Rd. labeled as "Hm Township Rd 25."
