Shannon called me at 8:40 this morning when she got to work in Johnson City because she heard what she was sure was a Common Yellowthroat. I suggested the possibility of Carolina Wren, but she was sure it wasn't. It is definitely early for Com. Yellowthroat, but this is an interesting

Today, during the late afternoon, while shooting at the Dryden Gun Club I found myself wondering again whether nearby birds change their behavior living next to an intermittently noisy environment. In my few small samples I think they adapt well considering the noise is less predictable
