Correction to Crossbill Types



I must correct an item of errata from my recent "A Little Alpenglow" posting.  The largest Red Crossbill bill is a Type 6, not a 9 as I mentioned in my post.  I must have typed that number while upside-down...yeah, that's it; I was upside-down.  Sibley gives a thorough explanation on the diversity of crossbill sizes in The Sibley Guide to Birds, page 531.
