["mayhorn" <mayhorn@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Area Birders,
While checking bluebird boxes here on Compton Mt this morning, I heard the 
first HOODED WARBLER of the season. He wasn't doing the complete call, but 
enough for an ID. When I was learning warblers I came up with a mnemonic for 
the Hooded Warbler song. It was "Djou eat, djou eat, djou eat this year", which 
is a shortened version of "Did you eat, did you eat, did you eat this year." It 
worked well for me, and it seems to work well for beginning birders that I have 
told about it. The bird I heard this morning was saying only the last part, 
"djou eat this year".
Enjoy the birds,
