From my old files. Dave's hint might help someone. Did anyone ever try it??

Here's an easy, cheap, low-tech, Saw-whet call: Get an Irish pennywhistle and
repeatedly play a C natural on it. On a D-scale whistle, that means covering only the third from top hole. You can slide up through D to E to add some interest and realism. Last month I tried this at Hammond Hill and a Saw-whet not only replied, it nearly flew into my face. --Dave Nutter -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
