Steve,
I completely understand your frustration. I heard a Bewick's Wren
calling in Nashville one time. I had not heard one in years at the time, and
haven't heard one since. I'd rather not say what I was in the middle of when I
heard that wren, but it would not have been wise to comment on it the moment it
happened.
