[cayugabirds-l] No Scissor-tailed Flycatcher

2015-06-04 Thread Drew Weber
I birded around the Pharsalia cemetery this morning with no further sightings 
of the flycatcher. Maybe it will show up and be active again in the afternoon. 

I also briefly went up into the Balsam Swamp state forest area nearby and had 
an adult goshawk circling overhead, plus many Mourning Warblers.

[cayugabirds-l] How well can you hear?

2015-06-04 Thread Meena Madhav Haribal
?Listening to bird songs is challenging. Quality of the sound depends on the 
gadgets you have and your ears.  So is the playback which people use it 
rampantly these days.

I was on a trip to Fort Drum, where one person did not have patience enough. He 
played playbacks several times unnecessarily. I was annoyed at times.


But this is a good exercise to see how well is your hearing and also your 
speaker.
