Very nice, Kevin! I recorded this bird a few years ago in a Lek in Washingt=
on and Idaho with the same idea, wind was always a problem but after half a=
dozen attempts i finally nailed it! I sat all night and morning monitoring=
the recording and got some equally good stuff. I totally agree that birds =
like this should be handled with care regarding conservation. We have a fra=
gile management system in place in this country and I fear it is not being =
implemented correctly.
