One of the birds which escaped my notice for the entire 2009 calendar year was the famously-wandering northern finch known as the white-winged crossbill. Well, yesterday I saw one southwest of Fargo in one of the shamefully few groves of spruce in the county–Embden.
Like loyal readers, I wondered the same thing: Was this bird here in December? Oh well, it would have only brought me to 248 anyway.
