Today 2/4/2005 I stopped by from 7:30-8AM and confirmed that crossbills are interested in those pines. Altogether I was able to confirm 76 individuals, 56 of which headed down-canyon in separate groups during my visit, 11 which headed west, and 9 which remained in the treetops. There were also several Varied Thrushes present, calling quietly from various sheltered spots around the pond. Siskins and Purple Finches were fairly numerous too, but the tallest willow along the trail has recently fallen, so they are harder to spot. The Mile 0.3 marker that was nearby to it has disappeared as well. --Garth Harwood _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
