Journal 151. June 1987 Bulfoot Park, elev 8200 ft, Chiricahua Mts., Cochise Co. Ariz. May 22 (contd) who was not collected. I then set out to tape record the seven birds I had captured, so brought them up to the truck, and away from the road. As I sat recording at processing birds, some bird-watchers visited Bulfoot; first, an old man (Morse ?) (according to name on binoculars- "Morse - Portal", He had an old black collie. He said he had seen 3 large flocks up the mountain and he also saw birds lower down (5-6,000 ft) earlier this year, and it was his impression that the birds were moving upwards in elevation. Next, a couple from central Texas, who seemed only mildly concerned about what I was doing there collecting birds. They said these were the first crossbills they'd seen. I first removed a flock of 14 crossbills from the net (8 adult males, 5 adult females, and one juvenile) and folded up the nets. All seemed Type 2-sized and some gave Type 2 flight calls upon release. One male gave Type 2 alarm calls.
