Introduction to vocalizations of crossbills in north-western Europe
With accompanying CD!

This issue of Dutch Birding contains a long main article by Magnus Robb on crossbill vocalizations. In this article, which is accompanied by a CD with recordings of crossbill vocalizations, vocalizations of six vocal types of Common Crossbill Loxia curvirostra plus Two-barred L leucoptera bifasciata, Scottish L scotica and Parrot Crossbills L pytyopsittacus are compared. First, general categories of crossbill vocalizations are discussed. Then, species and vocal types of crossbill are introduced and more than 100 examples on the CD serve to illustrate their vocal repertoires. Also, sonagrams and slowed-down recordings are used to elucidate structural differences between these vocalizations.
