Warblers seem to be avoiding the Patuxent Research Refuge North Tract, but
an afternoon survey today produced a Veery and Willow Flycatcher, both
firsts of the fall migration.
In a couple weeks, members of the refuge staff along with volunteer
naturalists (like myself) will be meeting to discuss a number of issues, one
of them being the playing of recordings to attract birds. There are many
opinions on the subject, but is there any research that I might be able to
put my hands on? This subject has become somewhat of an issue, and we would
like to come up with some guidelines, hopefully based on some studies that
have already been done. Any help in this regard would be greatly
appreciated.
