Both 305 and 387 called all morning, but no wild crossbills were heard. Two evening grosbeaks were heard, as well as pine siskins. Everywhere I explored, robins and white-throated sparrows were the most common birds. At about 2-3 pm I drove around the town of Flat Bay, then I drove up the Flat Bay Brook.
