I was down at Lost Lake which is south of Bandon and inland about a mile or
so from the ocean. It is mostly shore pine and dunes with Sitka spruce on
the ridgelines (old dunes). I had a WW Crossbill fly over calling and land
just out of sight. Just as I got to where it was and raised my bins off it
flew. I heard it or a different bird a while later. Also several Red
Crossbill flocks.
I have heard WWs a half dozen times now in the county but have still only
seen a single bird...
