ebird seems to think this is notable, so: I saw what I make as a Lincoln's Sparrow in the Tupelo meadow about 9:45a,. Bird was about the size of a Song Sparrow (one landed next to it and it flew off across the path north of the meadow), but with fine streaking all over the breast and no central spot.
Also a Winter Wren just north of Maintenance, two Pine Siskins around the Evodia feeders, and the usual suspects. A group of birders at Belvedere about 10am said the White-Winged Crossbills had been present a little earlier in the pines at the east end of the Shakespeare Garden (overlooked by Belvedere), but I was unable to stay and await their return. Work really eats into my birding time.
