WINTERING BIRDS 
Perhaps more Pine Grosbeaks and Redpolls have wintered in our state 
than in any recorded history. (See also Winter Season by H. David Bohlen.) 
Evening Grosbeaks were also found in many locations as well as many 
Pine Siskins. Both White-winged and Red Crossbills were found every- 
where. Red Crossbills are now seen most winters but White-wings are not. 
Rather than list the many places and people who found these winter 
birds I will list names of those who sent in reports. In my own area of the 
Tri Cities, too many people reported to even be listed. Others follow: L. 
Balch, Brune Dudonis, Eva E. Ophein, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Shaw, Edwin 
Warnack, Vinnie Dyke, and others. 
Other people sending in records on various birds are: Mrs. Paul G. 
Vetter, Jean B. Paulsen, Grace Fairchild, Arnie Bock, Edwin Franks, and 
Mrs. Thomas Otis.
