That way when I hear it I know exactly what it is. For example, When I was going to the Susquehanna State Park in early April I was expecting to see Northern Waterthrush (right time of year and habitat). So I listen to the song of the Northern Waterthrush over and over again. Then a few hours later while hiking through the area I heard it and new immediatly what it was... ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
