Much ado these days are the White-winged Crossbills that have descended into Prospect and delighted many birders tremendously. It makes sense therefore to see historically our park's past previous WWXbill visits. It turns out these birds were scarcely here ONLY 7 different years .So, as these visitors come and go , hopefully for the foreseeable winter, enjoy them now, since they are so rarely seen in these parts. Note some entries include the Brooklyn Botanic Garden which we rarely keep records for unless its an extreme rarity , hence in this case, crossbills. The order below is : Species,location, # seen, & date.
