Re: [cobirds] White-winged Red Crossbill , Park County

I also had a male Red Crossbill (Type 2) showing narrow white wingbars along Meadow Road in Park earlier this month. That is between Pine Junction and Bailey. It was the only such that I recall seeing. On that Red individual the wingbars were less bold than on the White-winged, in my limited experience with the latter.

I photographed a white-winged, Red Crossbill last year in Clear Creek County.  Thanks John for reminding us that some 1st year Red Crossbills can indeed have white wing-bars.

CO Birders :

    A cautionary tale .

A group of us searching this afternoon for the White-winged Crossbills reported by David Sudjian in Park County along CR 98 recently found a type 4 male Red Crossbill with two narrow white wing bars along CR 403  .  Disappointment at first but just second time that I have seen this variant .
