All right Bob! You, my friend, are truly for the birds :-) Have to give credit to my friend Clyde the nurse that can identify almost all the warblers and a lot of the sparrows by sound alone. when ever Clyde shows for a bird count your numbers will be higher because he can identify birds by sound. He's been an avid birder since he was a teenager. He's over 50 now. Amazing man. Good photographer too. |

Marvell loves to walk the Riverwalk in the am. He's taken some good shots of birds. I bet he'd be interested in some bird walks! Great idea! We'll look forward to your column...

Did anyone else see the interview with Diane Sawyer on Regis & Kelly yesterday? She brought video clips from a documentary she worked on. It's a 'save the Earth' piece. The clip was of a South American bird. (Bird of Paradise, maybe? It had those lyre shaped, speckled tail feathers.) They showed the bird making it's normal 'happy bird' call. Then the bird did a remarkable sound of a siren. What floored everyone, was when the bird started making CHAINSAW noises! These rain forest dwellers have heard then encroachment of humanity for so long, that now they mimic our sounds.

... What floored everyone, was when the bird started making CHAINSAW noises! ... The perfect gag gift for someone with a "nervous" disposition? What do the birds think when they hear us whistle? |
