Being a birder can often be a distraction during televised outdoor events as the Master's tournament this past weekend. I found it hard to concentrate on the high level of competition when the air was full of birdsong--titmice, chickadees, mockingbirds, cardinals, red-bellied woodpeckers, etc., all sounding off as if via some great outdoors PA system. I kept waiting for one or more of the announcers to call our attention to this free concert. I doubt I was alone.... Ed Edwin S.
