1. Growth 1986 Journal 138. A map localities I heard crossbills, plus the call type. I heard only Type 4 birds every place I found crossbills. The traffic + people were very abundant all along the coast. I found probable nesting Type 4 birds in tree groves among dunes at Honeyman State Park. [Type 4]. I continued S along the coast, checking for birds, but found less and less as I drove S. I camped near Whalehead Island on private property above Hwy 101. Aug 10 No crossbills were heard this morning, although I was near good Sitka spruce groves with abundant cones. By 8:30 I began N again, explored near Gold Beach & Port Orford -- found no crossbills. I finally found Type 4 birds at Point Arago in Sitka spruce habitat. Late in the day, I drove E into the Cascades. The Doug Fir cone crop was good only within 5-10 mi. of the coast, thus inland was no place for crossbills.
