Hi all, I wish to thank everyone for the informative discussion on this pending legislation. I value the listserv for the many observations that come to me about what is being seen, but also for discussions such as this that inform us about pending decisions that might impact us.
I for one participate in and coordinate several studies that collect data on birds and other animals and even plants. I have also led many field trips mostly for kids, but often of adults. I occasional use recordings for call backs, but mostly I generate my own noises. I mostly use the recordings to introduce people to what they should be listening for. I have introduced several people to where and how to find owls, which usually involves in prompting the owls to respond to my whistles. I am lucky to know my state senator well. Whenever he (and his wife) see me, they first tell me what birds they are seeing around their house. I am planning on writing him a letter about this legislation.
