Jim's recent spectrogram of a grasshopper sparrow, reminded me of the usefu=
lness of such imagery.

My spectrogram of the Pacific wren can be found here:
http://www.rockscallop.org/blog/?p=3D109

Click on the image to get the larger view.

Now all I need is a good photo. Those little wrens never sit still and they=
 love the shadows of the canopy, making it hard to get a good shot.
