Re: [SaF] bird songs
a bird has taken up residence in our yard -- thought at first he (she?) was a blackbird - -- but this bird sings constantly (too whee ??) -- we are delighted with him (her)..but have no clue what type bird we have. Our bird book is fairly limited...and we live in SW Kansas any ideas? thanks...Carol

For your new found hobby of backyard birdwatching, invest in a good pair of binoculars so that you can locate and view the bird up close and personal. Then with that mental description use a good bird book to identify the bird. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-form/ 107-5629961-0861330 Note: The above URL is actually one continuous line and should be entered into your browser's address box as one line.

Re: [SaF] bird songs
I had a lot of trouble actually finding many bird songs on the site as I didn't really know what bird I was looking for. Most of them had to be downloaded first before I could listen to them. As I am restricted to only one hour a day I couldn't investigate as far as I wanted. But I checked out the magpie sound and it might be what I was looking for. There are two magpies at the back of our house that I see quite a lot. Could someone maybe find a site other than the ones you sent me with a sound track (the one I found was not too good) of a magpie that I could listen to maybe ? I really appreciate you searching for me, I would love doing it if I had illimited access to the internet, but maybe then nothing else would get done in the house, LOL. Peace were you going to do some extended research for me ? The sites you sent me we more for birdwatching, not listening ??? Just wondering.. Hugs from France, - Message d'origine - De : Alan S.

Re: [SaF] bird songs
Alan seems VERY adept at identifying obnoxious bird calls. He helped me with one in Texas that kept me up all night.

Re: [SaF] bird songs
Well, I don't know if there are mocking birds in France, but.in Southern California, I would suspect one. In fact, mocking birds have been known to be so loud late at night they were known as midnight birds in our family.

You know, I'm sitting here re-writing the menu and tech manual for our local Don Pablo's Mexican Kitchen, and I need a break!! Soo I'm going to do some searches for the birds native to France.
