1. Groth 1986 journal 139. Aug 10 I finally camped in a clearent area of lodgepole pine just E of Cascade Pass and N of Hwy 138. Aug 11 I immediately heard crossbills (Type 2) earily in the morning. The clearing had small groups, lone mates flying over. I collected an imm. \sigma Type 2 and an imm. \sigma Type 5. I had a group of 4 Type 5's visit the decoys twice, but could not collect any. The noise of traffic on Hwy 138 made for a poor place to do work. I drove to a different clearing, as indicated. At this spot I found many crossbills, virtually all Type 2, the rare Type 5. I could not get birds to come down, but I did catch \#497 and collected juv. \sigma #498 (both Type 2's). This place was o.k., but I spent the afternoon driving forest roads looking for good places.
