Walt,
This is the second comment regarding the illegitimacy of attributing human
emotions to wildlife behavior, and that's just today!
I listen to the birds all the time, and they give pretty good advice. (Ask
any soldier that has been on patrol in a foreign country and he will likely
know of stories about how an ambush was avoided, lives saved, because the
wildlife alarm calls tipped them off.) I think we should honor our 'bias'
when it comes to nature recording--it will guide us towards better set-ups.
Science can catch up later.
All the best,
Gordon

difference is knowing it's just a description without deeper meaning. "
