I thought I would pass along this email and link from Matt Young, a crossbill
researcher from Cornell. We recorded the crossbills coming to the feeder last
spring in Unicoi Co, TN and Matt confirmed type I by flight call spectrograph.
If you see Red Crossbills and get the chance to record them you can contact
Matt to analyze the calls and possibly identify to type. In this case they
were recorded from an iPhone.

Hi everyone,
Hope everyone is doing well. Can everyone please enter their
confirmed Red Crossbill recordings into eBird to call type? We're trying to
update the maps to show their respective ranges -- The ranges are
incomplete, and will be for some time, but every confirmed entry helps. Just
add a species, type red Crossbill, choose call type (in this case all have
been type 1). If confirmed by me, just write in comments confirmed by Matt
Young.
Be on the lookout for Type 3 this year. I strongly suspect there are some
Type 3 in the south now! I have confirmed records from this year for
Delaware and Maryland and a probable from Virginia. Type 2 are also moving
across the Plain --could show up too.
Cheers, and it's greatly appreciated!
Matt
