Cobirders,
I am categorically opposite Ted’s opinion on use of “voice” and what is of primary or secondary interest. BUT, to stem the inevitable tide of commentary on this topic during peak bird season, I suggest posting an annotated list first to your post and then as verbose as you chose to be in the space below the list. As we all know, Ted is the editor of a major “Birding” magazine (ABA) and waxing loquaciously with sesquipedalian content is what he is all about. You can find some neat postings like that in the CFO and ABA blogs.
