You are NOT allowed to play recording in the Great Smokey National Park of bird songs. You can play it low for your ears only to id a bird.

TN Birders,I saw a statement recently on a web site for a park/natural area (not in TN) that puzzled me. So I thought I'd post this here to see what TN birders think.The statement says that it is against their rules to "pish" or play recordings to lure birds in, _because_ these behaviors are against the law and "harmful." The area is a breeding area for an endangered species of bird.My questions:Is it indeed illegal (federal or in some states) to "pish" or play recordings?Is "pishing" harmful? Are recordings harmful? Thanks. Bates Estabrooks Anderson County
