There's a significant irruption of Type 2 Red Crossbills this year,
described as "possibly unprecedented for the Puget Sound region" in the
latest Winter Finch Forecast update:
I've also been seeing and hearing Red Crossbills almost daily since August
in the North City area of Shoreline. Spectrograms of my sound recordings
indicate Type 2 birds.
The Finch Research Network has an excellent article on Red Crossbill call
types:
I believe you can also submit links to eBird checklists containing your
recordings to the Finch Research Network for help identifying the call
types.
