Cape Henlopen also has Japanese Black Pine for sure, in fact a few summers ago, when I was living in the area, they were actively trying to control this non-native species. So far, the crossbills I have seen at Cape Henlopen this year have all been feeding in Virginia Pine. They may have perched briefly in another species but I did not observe foraging.
