Greetings Again,
I have to take an occassional break from the tedious very responsible job of
completing some session meeting minutes this afternoon. Imagine my reward
to find such risk taking birders challenging all the positives and negatives
of pishing, taping, & banding. Lightened my tired mind considerably.
Now when I see this immediate email, I recall times past when a birding
group would be pishing and suddenly there were butterflies which seemed to
be responding
everywhere.. all sizes and colors, particularly in the fall. These colorful
light
airy creatures would float around us, above us and even toward us..the group
would
wonder why and we have even wished warblers would follow suite.. and, yes,
hummers have checked us out, too.
Where are our butterfly experts.... are we imagining that butterflies are
responding to pishing and taping??? And I wonder if others have experienced
this? Perhaps it is a common phenomena???
