There is a reason I only post my observations. So before I get many more responses, my comments are merely my opinion. I know the use of recordings worldwide is commonplace. I guess using the term cheating may be a bit harsh, but it was the best analogy I could come up with. I understand the usefulness of recordings especially for people in an area for only a limited amount of time. I just don't find seeing a certain species of birds important enough to use recordings. For me the joy of birding comes with not only seeing birds but also the chase, and I find recordings to be a shortcut. I'm also open to the possibility that I will change my mind in the future. ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
