The Caw of the Wild

I posted this link in another thread about identifying bird-calls but it is such an interesting and funny article about bird calls I thought more Birders would see it in its own thread.

2. I h ave a great app

for bird calls as I wrote about in another thread. It's called BirdTunes. It's helped me recognized quite a few different birds and identify some birds as well. It's quite a thrill to identify a bird by sound, especially a Bluebird!

3. Thanks again! I live in the country and we have

lots of birds. Nothing record breaking, but a very wide variety come to our feeders and I've learned some bird songs but learning more will be great fun!

4. Yes

We live in a small country town on a lake and see a huge variety of birds year-round and migrating ones as well. Just recently I saw a Cormorant on our dock!!! That was a pretty cool first. I just love birds, been a bird enthusiast since I was a kid.
