Yosemite Nat'l Park, Calif.
I went on a cross-country skiing trip w/ John
Canothers, Mark Reynolds, & Melinda (Wett-Jones
today. Our trip (Melinda didn't go) went
from the Bridger Pass parking lot and
proceeding in a generally N.E. direction to
an overlook - a distance of about
10 mi., one way. Along the way, I
observed few birds. Red Crossbills were
encountered on 3 occasions, including a
sighting at about 11:00 a.m. of 4
individuals (age/sex not noted) in lodgepole
pine forest followed by two other
encounters of crossbill calls - all of
type 2. It was sunny at first, followed
by increase in clouds and then snow.
Other birds: Mt. chidee deer, "Oregon" juncos,
Steller Jays, Ravens, G.C. kinglets.
