Diana, et. al.

Please don't play Hooded Warbler tape to attract the bird to see it. This
could put undue stress on the bird during nesting season.  You would be
perceived as a competitor.  Excessive tape playing might cause it to abandon
it nest territory.  Be patient, and spissh.  Also, go slowly toward the song
if the bird will not approach you.  I have occasionally slowly walked up to
a male more interested in attracting a mate then me.  Playing tape to
attract a nesting bird is unethical, inappropriate, and should not be done.

This advice goes for any nesting bird, especially Kentucky Warbler which is
also hard to see.

Good luck but you will see one if careful.

George
