Not only do I hear the bird calls but in old military movies where Morse
code is being sent in the background, my ham radio experience has me copying
the code. Usually background code is intelligible but when a guy is sitting
there supposedly sending Morse code, it is usually nonsense. Here in
Chattanooga the house wren call is popular in commercials on the radio. Of
course, on TV all bald eagles sound like red-tailed hawks.
Funny how we tune our ears. Makes me wonder how "normal" folks get by.
