Greetings, Seeing a pair of Red Crossbills picking up road grit as I travelled across Caledonia Mountain, NB, yesterday, reminded me of a month-old request I had received from Matt Young at Cornell University, who is very interested in receiving recordings of the calls of RED CROSSBILLS [Bec-croisé des sapins] from the Maritimes. If you encounter Red Crossbills and can obtain (or already have obtained) some audio or video recordings of their calls, please contact Matt <may6 AT cornell.edu>. Our region is poorly represented in the archives of crossbill vocalizations. For some information on the varying Red Crossbill populations, check the following webpage http://research.amnh.org/vz/ornithology/crossbills/index.html and others linked to it. David >I'm a crossbill researcher at Cornell and I was wondering if you know anyone that could perhaps record the Red Crossbills at Fundy? I know this is a longshot, but it can't hurt to ask. Any kind of video with audio will work as well. I don't know how much you know, but there are as many as 10 different call types of Red Crossbills in North America, with some perhaps meeting the criteria for the biological species concept. I've been working on trying to get a handle on the distribution of Red Crossbill call types in the northeast. Unfortunately, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia are two areas where there's little data on Red Crossbills. > >thanks for any help, >Matt Young <may6 AT cornell.edu> >Audio Production Engineer >Cornell Lab Ornithology > -- David Christie Mary's Point, Harvey, Albert Co., New Brunswick, Canada http://www3.nbnet.nb.ca/maryspt
