[birdky] Lexington Cemetery - No White-winged Crossbills

Thanks to all of you who sent me directions to the Lexington Cemetery.....they were perfect. I went this morning around 9:45am and searched sections 19, 20, 41, Henry Clay Statue and other sections but found no White-winged Crossbills....or Pine Siskins. I spent about 45 minutes looking up, down, listening, etc. I also saw no other birders.
I decided to go on to the Minor Clark Fish Hatchery. There I found a couple of Yellow Rumped Warblers and 5 Killdeer. Most of the ponds, including the big ones are drained right now. I went on down the road to Shallow Flats and only found 3 Buffleheads (2 males, 1 female) and a male Hooded Merganser. At the Cave Run Dam I found about 2 dozen Coots and a Pied Billed Grebe.
On the way back home I again stopped at the Cemetery. Again after 45 minutes of checking all sections carefully I found no birds....or birders. It was a big disappointment as I got shut out on Crossbills at Spring Grove Cemetery in Cincinnati and St. Anne's Convent last weekend. I'll give the Highland's Cemetery a shot tomorrow.
