Rachel et al.,

We were in the neighborhood of the prime Cassia Crossbill habitat last fall (attempting unsuccessfully to get out from under the dense smoke here in California) and discovered to our horror that the forests southeast of Twin Falls up Rock Creek canyon (Forest road 515), which had been the prime location for this bird, had just been torched also. Check with e-bird for any recent reports. There is still habitat further east out of Albion, apparently.
