Return to the index of the call types First a short introduction to the matter Similar ECs: very similar to N4, however more pronounced ‚S‘-shape and second band (see figure 23 and figure 27). Figure 6: Adult male and juvenile N1 in Pinus mugo mugo in the German Alps, June 2012, Figure 7: FCs of N1 (background species: Coal Tit (Periparus ater), Chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs)). The song, which may be delivered from a perch in in flight, is a soft twittering of short trills. Figure 103: FCs of N23 (in background: Redwing (Turdus iliacus)). Martin, R., Rochefort, J., Mundry, R., & Segelbacher, G. (2019). The reason for this is an effect named ‚call matching‘ (Groth 1993a). Not all crossbills can be studied like this bird! Figure 1 shows the current form. This call type is probably identical with Type X which was published in Constantine & The Sound Approach (2006). Parrot Crossbill (Figure 9) also has separate call types, although the ‘Scandinavian’ one is by far the most common. Germany, July 2015 © Ralph Martin, Figure 23: ECs of N4 (background species: Great Tit (Parus major)). Thanks to the recorded flight calls (Sjaak Schilperoort), this female could be identified as a certain Parrot Crossbill. Variation in Parrot Crossbill (Scandinavian type). With the increased interest in sound recording, the number of recordings also increased steadily. Find out how to identify a bird just from the sound of its singing with our bird song identifier playlist. 2018). ( Abmelden /  Georgia, September 2014 © Krzysztof Deoniziak, Figure 115: Variation of FCs of S17 of 20 different individuals, Figure 116: Variation of probable ECs of S17 of six different individuals, Similar ECs: if the shown ECs belong to this call type, they resemble especially N11 (and maybe N1). During every crossbill influx, especially when Parrot Crossbills (Loxia pytyopsittacus) are also involved, birders get excited again. Included are recordings from Iceland to Japan, from Norway to Morocco, from remote regions of China and the Siberian forests.

This crossed bill is used to extract seeds from conifer cones. The most common ones this autumn were Parrot Crossbill (“Scandinavian type”), type A, two forms of type C (see below), type D and type X. I’ve come across at least four other types this autumn, though in very low numbers (less than five each out of approximately 380 recordings on the online observation database www.waarneming.nl). Type A, type c, second form of type C, type D, type X of Common Crossbill, and Parrot Crossbill Scandinavian type, respectively. _. (2002) (nevertheless, this was a great system to get a first insight into crossbill call types). Figure 80: A male of N17 in the French Alps, October 2018, Figure 81: FCs of N17 (in background: Coal Tit (Periparus ater), Robin (Erithacus rubecula)). It is a Schedule 1 species. They are more variable than FCs and ECs but many call types can be separated by their chitter calls with some practice. Figure 117: FCs of S19. (2008). Crossbills are characterized by the mandibles crossing at their tips, which gives the group its English name. However, this selection is not random. These recordings are shown below. Therefore, we separated our analysis in a dataset north of 44°N and one south of 44°N and analysed, if there are differences in the delimitation of call types between the northern and southern datasets. Be careful when identifying a southerly population outside its regular distribution range. potential Red Crossbill call type S6 The first of the original papers has recently been published: Martin, R., Rochefort, J., Mundry, R., & Segelbacher, G. (2019). This is a very rare call type in the Western Palearctic, with records beeing scattered over the whole northern half. Figure 2: Series of FCs and ECs of four different individuals of call type N7. I think it’s fascinating that these populations/types of crossbills exist, and are apparently quite able to find mates of the same type. Sweden, March 2013 © Jelmer Poelstra, Figure 97: ECs of Parrot Crossbill N21 (in background: Willow Tit (Poecile montanus), Chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs)). They are still typical for the call type and many of these calls will hardly attract your attention in a spectrogram (but might sound unfamiliar in the field). Because of this, the call may seem structurally similar to Parrot, but note the faint hints of the left and right parts of the call and the lack of a stepwise descent. Parrot Crossbill, male, Molenhoek, Limburg, The Netherlands, 17 February 2017 (John van der Graaf). Crossbill N20, Figure 46: Differences between ECs of N3 and N8. Robb (2000) showed us that in Europe (in North America this was already ‘discovered’) several types of unique combinations of flight calls and excitement calls existed; i.e. However, right now we only have recordings from few sites and variation is quite large. Delimitation of call types of Common Crossbill ( Loxia curvirostra ) in the Western Palearctic. They often sound sharp, piercing and sometimes klicking. 18 October 2014, Meijendel, Wassenaar, the Netherlands, how to separate Parrot Crossbill from the several Common Crossbill types - by Thijs Fijen, sp.)
