Observation details
State bird! First heard a single bird calling, and then located it. Observed from the Africana parking lot perched high in a conifer calling. Later flew over me with a second individual as I recorded their calls. While in tree, had the typical crossbill posture. Although the bird was quite backlit, I think I saw a white wing flash upon take-off. Bird's appeared somewhat long-tailed in flight. Compared my recording to Merlin recordings, and along with Jeremy Collison, Larry Chen, and Ethan Lai, felt that white-winged best fits the vocalization pattern. Birds disappeared to the north of Eco.
