Looks like I only have photos there of birds when they were in the lodgpole
(they were much closer at that point). In any case, these were the birds
that were feeding on spruce, then lodgepole.

crossbills in a large, cone-laden spruce. They had been in this spruce for

gentle wind.... Then,
Do you have the eBird URL this small group of about 15 birds lifted up,
flew down to a nearby row of shorter lodgepole (shore) pine very close to
me, and began feeding there on the lodgepole cones. Again, seed wings from
the lodgepole cones were floating down through the air to me. They fed on
the lodgepole for at least another 15 minutes while I was there. This group
had first fed on the spruce, then on the lodgepole, doing a good job on
both.
photos are in eBird, but I haven't checked if my recordings are useful or
I did get some photos of the birds and attempted recording calls. My
not, for discerning types.
