I am almost certain he was Type 4, as I heard the calls. I then caught two Type 4 birds (a ? at a ?) from a flock of about 8 Type 4's. Many crossbills were around -- lots of Type 2's at Type 5's, as well as Type 4's -- all in about equal frequency. Pine siskins followed the crossbills and were attracted to the decays at caged birds.

After catching the first two birds, another flock of Type 4's came in and I got 4 birds -- one turned out to be a Type 5 ? with very large testes -- certainly in breeding condition.
