J. Groth 1985 journal 16. 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)
