[birdky] Nearby crossbill opportunity

A friend (Ed Ehrman, N. KY) located 20-30 white-winged crossbills in Cincinnati 
on Thursday at Spring Grove Cemetery (very near the Cincy Zoo and easy to 
find).  On Friday, approximately 100 crossbills were seen, and a common redpoll 
was reported by only 1 person.  I was passing through Cincy today, so me and 
several friends (including Ed) stopped by Spring Grove.  We 'only' located ~ a 
dozen crossbills and had a purple finch flyover, but another person we know 
spotted a Cooper's Hawk that flushed ~50 crossbills from a large group of 
spruce trees.  After we left, we also got word from a colleague that 2 common 
redpolls were confirmed.  It's a pretty close trip if you can make it, but 
also, keep your eyes peeled in KY!
