Any idea which type of Red Crossbill these are?

There were large numbers of Red Crossbills at several stops along SR-6 in
Pacific County, including some singing near Nallpee last Saturday. I found
even larger numbers of crossbills up NF-22 and NF-2204 running northeast out
of Humptulips (Grays Harbor County) on Monday.

Tweeters,



While leading a tour a week ago on the Olympic Peninsula, we bumped into Red
Crossbills at many locations and elevations, including just about every stop
along the road up to Hurricane Ridge. I've also been encountering small
flocks along upper Scatter Ck. and elsewhere in Thurston County over the
past couple weeks. I'm just curious if others are finding crossbills and
how widespread the pattern is in western Washington. At least locally, I'm
seeing lots of Douglas-fir cones.



Good birding, Bob
