When I listen to him for the first time in the spring - the thing that I listen for is sort of a sassy/wolf-whistle quality.

Humbling in the sense no matter how much you learn there is always more. Humbled in the presence of nature, the beauty of the earth, and if you believe like I do, the wonder of the Creator who formed them. So maybe being a "Humble Birder" would, if you don't mind the pun, fit the bill.<BR/>VernAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8147631697089273467.post-888796848524233502007-08-30T11:37:00.000-05:002007-08-30T11:37:00.000-05:00The top one is an easy one, Common Wood-Nymph.

Some of the adjectives I could use to describe Larry I can't put in print as this is a family blog, but what about an ASPIRING birder or what I called him in a recent e-mail,a "BIRDING STUD" But "Novice" is a clear misrepresentation of the truth. <BR/>Vern :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8147631697089273467.post-57576107241493163942007-08-30T04:18:00.000-05:002007-08-30T04:18:00.000-05:00Lynne-I don't always do audio, bit it works out we...Lynne-I don't always do audio, bit it works out well when you need it.<BR/><BR/>Ruthiej-thanks-I figured the spicebush was one I'd seen beforre-just looks different this time of year I guess.<BR/><BR/>Mary-sorry-the novice was meant to rib Vern-not you.-I'm sure you'll make time one of these days.Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17955054342034509500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8147631697089273467.post-46710562242641717862007-08-29T20:53:00.000-05:002007-08-29T20:53:00.000-05:00Larry,You continue to call yourself a novice birde...Larry,<BR/><BR/>You continue to call yourself a novice birder. You are not - I am! You must live in a great area for birding. My eyes are always open for a bald eagle or anything worth seeing - and the plentiful species you see. I would need to get out more often but spare time is my problem.<BR/><BR/>I love hearing about your finds. As far as the audio, you'll figure it out.

There's so much variation in the birdsongs....my orioles never sound much like the recordings I have.

I feel much more confident in making an id when I can use both visual and audio characteristics. (thanks Larry!) It's really neat that with Vern's input you were able to confirm your id.
