Add Ogden Valley in Weber County to the list of locations WHITE-WINGED 
CROSSBILLS are using this winter. I saw them in two locations in the valley 
today. The first was on 6800E., which is a south turn off SR-39 at about 
mile 17.1 across the road from Anderson Cove Campground. The other spot was 
in Huntsville Cemetery at the west end of 100S. in Huntsville on Cemetery 
Point.

The flock in the spruce trees at the corner of SR-39 and 6800E. numbered at 
least 30 birds, although I only saw five until they flew. What a surprise. I 
don't think any Red Crossbills were present by the sound of the flight 
calls. The group at the cemetery numbered only four White-wings.
