[cobirds] White-winged Crossbill, Summit County

Hi all,

While doing a survey for RMBO on a transect in spruce-fir forest at 11,000 ft this morning, I heard the distinct call and song of White-winged Crossbill. I was reminded of a recent posting about them being seen and heard in Boulder County a week or so ago, and so was intrigued to know that they are elsewhere in Colorado as well this time of year.

My transect was south of French Gulch Road a few miles east of Breckenridge, and a considerable bushwhack up the hill from the Sallie Barber trail. I would not consider these birds chaseable.
