The author of this article Sarah, did a phone interview with me a couple of weeks back I reckon she did not like what I had to offer, but I don't use App, Iphones or Ipods either, which might have been her sole interest... ...I just my good Screech Owl "cassette tape" ...the same thing I have and will continue to use during NON-BREEDING season for much of my birding life :-) where permitted. And I do not bird areas frequented by birders very often anyway so there is little impact. I do use specific playbacks, under permit, for survey or research purposes. Journalists will try to cherry pick and go for the nerve. ********************************************************************** Brush Freeman 503-551-5150 Cell http://texasnaturenotes.blogspot.com/ Finca Alacranes., Utley,Texas On Fri, Jan 3, 2014 at 9:10 AM, Tim Brush <txbrush5@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Thanks for sharing this, Jim.
