Not your usual pie chart here, no-sir-re-Bob. I love the top image on the =
Crex Meadows posting with Steve's photos.
I want to call attention to it. It's a rarity in this day and age. A graph=
that isn't boring and gives lots of information easily - almost subliminal=
ly. And you don't even know you're learning something.

Rob, are you a fan of Edward R. Tufte? I am. He wrote several books. Two=
are The Visual Display of Quantitative Information, and Envisioning Inform=
ation. He also was disgusted with the way people use MS PowerPoint.
In Rob's graphic he has a photo of the CMWA, a sound recording of the area,=
and a sonogram of the recording. There's more information also. The loca=
tion, GPS coordinates, and date plus a 24 hour time line - from noon to noo=
n. Let us know if I guess anything incorrectly.
We also have wind speeds, peak wind speed, and average wind speed over time=
. There is also some equipment used data and information on what birds and=
animals you're hearing at a particular time.
I think we might have a direction of photo and maybe mic direction? Rob, a=
re the Xs in the recording sonograph where two different recording were edi=
ted together? And what are the plot points that traverse across the graph.=
Also the S in the right hand side.
Thanks Rob, for the uplift. It's nice to see someone thoughtfully present =
information in a visual form. So many people don't bother, and I just want=
ed you to know that some people notice and appreciate it. It made my day t=
oday.
