J. Girth 1987 journal 147. May 21 Bonfoot Park, elev. 9200 ft., Chiricahua Mts.), Cochise Co., Ariz. Some Song ( the "oree's" sounded quicker and raspier than Virginia type's), and also juvenile begging calls. Adults seemed paired ( but it was hard to tell with the flocking) as juveniles clinged to fur parents as begged. The birds also were going down to the ground, apparently to forage (but for what?, seeds, insects? -- they were not opening fallen cones.) I could not get a shot at a vocalizing bird with the .22 gun. The birds were flighty. By about 1:00 or so, I noted some preening by the birds while they perched on low branches. Juveniles begged. I recorded some birds. The wind began to increase, as large clouds occasionally broke the sunlight. It was cool -- only in the 60's. The habitat here is almost pure pines -- mainly yellow pine. I think these pines are Apache pine (Pinus englemanni), but the needles seem short (less than 9 inches)
