Does anyone else have the impression that this species is becoming more widespread as a breeder on the coastal plains? I used to associate it strongly with Shore Pine, but now I find it widely (e.g., throughout McKinleyville) in Knobcone/Monterey Pine and even Sitka Spruce stands. Harris says, "limited numbers...breed at sea level in shore pines and introduced conifers on [the] North Spit." The Humboldt BBA more or less supports that assessment, with few exceptions.
