Feb 18 around the camp. A ? evening grosbeak
with a broken wing was found at
Bass Lake -- she was put in a cage
and kept for awhile. We got into
the truck and drove around looking for
a good place to set-up the net.
One at least one occasion we stopped
and got out to listen -- each time
we heard crossbills, as always type 2.
On a road going up from the
NE part of the lake, we found
cleuslon and a good spot to set-up.
It was very quiet in the
area, since we really didn't
set up until about 9:30. We
heard evening grosbeaks and
some type 2 crossbills around. Our
decoys were placed on a patch of
snow (.57" at 298). Playbacks of
43's toops lured-in an occasional
wild bird -- all type 2 -- but none showed
enough interest. An additional group
of type 3 (?) arrived, but were
not very interested. Later, one lone
male was heard calling from a nearby
tree ... he was tape recorded (tape t5B)
