J Growth 1986 Journal 78. Kelso Dunes 24 May Laura Cunningham said she noted some Horned Larks here. Also, Black-throated Sparrow, Later, at about 9:30 am, I drove to Flagstaff, AZ via I-40. After I [illegible] explored for possible red crossbill areas, but the cone crop was very poor here. The road to the top of the mountain (5,166 Peaks) was closed about 6 mi. off of Hwy 180. I decided to head south to the Mogollon Rim where I found a campsite 3 mi. N of Strawberry, AZ. 25 May Mogollon Rim, Arizona I set out the net at the campsite, but did not notice any crossbills. Just Rafous-sided Towhees, Western Bluebirds, Olive-sided Flycatchers. Then headed E on the Rim Road, and followed this until 18 mi. W of Show Low, where I cut N to Hwy 260. I did encounter a pair of crossbills (see entry) along the route. The habitat throughout was of ponderosa pine, with very poor cone crop. This "worst" area was along between 260 and 260.
