Just found Bill's Post, downloaded the calls, and Type 3 is perfect fit!

Subject: [MDBirding] Joining the Red Crossbill Fly-Over Club Greenbelt

Today at 12:05 from the platform at Greenbelt Metro Stop, a bird flew over
giving a two syllable call, yip-yip. I had played the Stokes recording
several times over the past few days, most recently yesterday morning for
the waterfowl search I was leading, so it would be fresh in everyone's
head/ears. Darned if I didn't hear one of those called today. This
recording on Xeno-Canto is pretty darn close to what I heard.

Xeno-Canto does not appear to allow searching by types. Calls from
Kazakhstan or Denmark won't do me a lot of good. Anyone know a good, solid
Type 3 recording?

I first heard an intriguing call while under at canopy, emerged and heard
twice two two-note yip-yips. The bird was west bound.

WHERE are these things settling and refueling?!?!?!?
