Listened to from Pete Dunne's "The Art of Pishing" CD yesterday on the drive home from a day of birding in Delaware (Harris's Sparrow - YES!) So today I tried out some of his techniques. Still can't do an Eastern Screech Owl.

Location:     Oxbow Lake
Observation date:     10/18/08
Notes:     Trumpeter Swan #960. Male Woodducks parading around in all their 
beautiful glory. Seen/heard Swainson's Thrush. FoF Pied-billed Grebe. Water 
level is high for some reason....Passed a grandfather with young grandson (the 
binoculars around his neck were almost bigger than him) walking the trails. On 
the second pass, grandfather was wearing them.
