We saw the same thing in the parking lot at Fort Stevens Campground last
August. The crossbills were so busy with the cones that they were ignoring
persons walking only a couple of feet away.

qqqqqqq iiiiiiiii eeeeee
I would guess the cones are from
Sitka Spruce (bright yellow, 2 1/2-
3" long). I saw Crossbills doing the
same thing at South Fogarty Creek SP
last August. I was quite surprised.
The parking lot was pretty much paved
with the cones. I think the Crossbills
were cutting them off the branches,
then retrieving them from the ground.
The cones seem nearly as big as the
birds. Lars
