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
