Journal 2. Oct 1984 Sagehen Creek, California Oct 12 Dianne has seen some birds here: two kinds of juncos, two kinds of chickadees, white-crowned sparrows, Steller's jays, etc. Oct 13 I had a net set up at Sagehen Field Station by 7:45 a.m. Heard one type 2 crossbill fly over during set-up, but the dewys did not call. Waited around the net area for about an hour. Danny showed-up, but no sounds of crossbills. Played back 43's toops occasionally. Then at about 9:15 we drove N on 89 until hitting a major turnoff to the left (W). The cone crop on all species of conifer appeared now. According to Mike Yoder-Williams, last year had a very good cone crop, and evidence of this was on the ground in old cones. We played back 43's toops at occasional stops, but no response. We got back to the nets at the Field Station at approx 10:20
