Which ever way you look at it Walt, we are a cruel animal, one that does not
deserve a lot of things because we do not know how to respect things.
We don't have a Pandora's box here on this planet and one day, we will find
the fields empty and the marshes dry. Then we will go to Bernie's archives
to hear how a Mallard once used to sound :-(

I've seen Lang work a site. The birds probably lined up and called
properly for him because they were tired of his trips out into the marsh
to get his mics positioned just right for the perfect soundfield. The
pairs drew straws for which pair would do it. ;-)
It is, on a more serious note, something for those who propose outlawing
playback. Used to be beaters or herders or worse were used to get the
animals where the tourists could see them. Playback was found to be
easier and cheaper...
