Spring Creek Pass, elev. 11,108 ft., San
Juan Mts., Hinsdale Co., Colorado
June 6 Here at the new site I set up a net,
(cont'd) and many crossbills passed over
(including the 3 call types plus good
numbers of white-wings) but I
had little luck getting any to
come down to the decoys! The
decoy were now becoming blazie'
and did not always call when
crossbills flew over. I did
manage to record as then capture
a lone type 2 ♀ (not in breeding
condition).
At about 11:30 I went up to
Lake City. Heard no crossbills along
the way. I drove 5 miles N of
Lake City and stopped in the ponderosa
pine/blue spruce along the river and
heard a flock of Type 2's. I
took a shower at the laundromat in
town, then drove back to Spring
Creek Pass.
I shot (after recording) a lone ♀
white winged crossbill who was near
breeding condition. Also, I
collected a male pine grosbeak. I heard
crossbills, but didn't get any
(all 3 call types -- plus mostly type 2's)
