J. Groth 1985 journal 66. Colorado Aug 5. At dawn, I arose and took the decoy's out and put them on top of the truck. Crossbills were heard (Type 5) at this early hour, and they excited the decoy's but did not approach. Five total were seen in one tight flock, which flew to the W. I think I got some o.k. recordings on the beginning part of Tape J66 57B. I then drove around for about 1/2 hour before deciding to set up at a man-made water hole near the campsite, just 1/4 mi. down the road of Game Management Area (2). Here many birds were seen, including Clark's Nutcracker, Gray Jay, Pine Grosbeak, Pine Siskins (abundant), Junco (Gray-headed, abundant) Chipping Sparrow, White Crowned Sparrow, Olive- sided Flycatcher, Western Wood-Parree, MacGillivray's Warbler, Yellow-rumped Warbler, Cassin's Finch, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Broad- tailed Hummingbird, House Wren, Robin, Hermit (?) Through. Also: Mt. Chickadee, R-c. Kinglet. A lone ? Type 5 Crossbill with a brood patch was captured at about 7:15 a.m., and I collected the ? Pine Grosbeak with the territory around the water hole. His mate and another grayish Pine grosbeak remained in the area
