Hi all,

Thanks to this community's generosity, I now have a unanimous vote for Red Crossbill. One person postulated that it's a female.

My friend is very grateful, and so am I!

Cheers,
Trileigh

Subject: Mystery bird call, San Juan Island, 8/31/2020

Hello Tweets,

A friend of mine made this recording last summer on the east side of San Juan Island and hasn't been able to identify it. It's not a call I'm familiar with either. She says it was calling from the top of a tree and estimated it was about robin-sized (backlit so only silhouetted), and hasn't heard it since, even though she lives part-time on SJI.

Here's the link -; any thoughts?

Good birding,
Trileigh
