VA Birders,
While checking bluebird boxes here on Compton Mt this morning, I heard the
first HOODED WARBLER of the season. He wasn't doing the complete call, but
enough for an ID. When I was learning warblers I came up with a mnemonic for
the Hooded Warbler song. It was "Djou eat, djou eat, djou eat this year", which
is a shortened version of "Did you eat, did you eat, did you eat this year." It
worked well for me, and it seems to work well for beginning birders that I have
told about it. The bird I heard this morning was saying only the last part,
"djou eat this year".
Enjoy the birds,
Roger Mayhorn
