followed the calls with the tape recorder
and got a good sample of flight
calls as the bird then took off to the
N towards 40 at the net. Deb
pointed her out in a near tree, then
she swooped down and was caught in
the net. - Bird 387 - a light-colored
Q type 2 -- lone bird.
Between 10:00
and about 11:00 no sign of other
crossbills until a pair of QQ arrived,
and one was immediately caught - Bird 388.
The other came down - I threw some
sticks to flush her into the net, but
it didn't faize her and she slowly
hopped up and over to 387, who was
on top of the trude. She gave an extensive
series of flight calls, which was
sampled for about 40 or more calls. She
escaped. Between then and 2:00 pm
(or 13:00) the weather was extremely
variable and snow fell, occasionally large
flakes came in a burst, followed by
sun patches.
We saw more yellow-
rumped warblers, mt Chickadees, n.b.
nuthatches, fox sparrows, junco,
evening grosbeaks. Two fishermen and
