Do you have Meadowlarks? I love their song but have heard that they are
suffering population decline.
I suspect that you are working on the school GCBC? when will it be back on
the line?
Happy landings,
We have meadowlarks, but their call here on the Prairies is a
little different than I used to hear in interior BC. Slightly
different species, I suppose. Last year they started calling in early
May and were still at it late in August. I imagine there were a few
unattached males still looking for mates. The meadowlark's call is the
earliest sound I can remember ever hearing as a little kid, back in
the '50s.
Yup, the school's GCBC. Might fly in summer, if I can keep at it
between all the other stuff.

Wife and I are into birds, we use EAR's,http://www.trak4.com/earco/index.html
There's a sound file for Loons, (not Bertie),
near the bottom.
You should get something like it.

Most customers upgrade to stereo EARS,
(Exterior Audio Receivers) , even a few 100 feet
apart for the well healed user.
I took the Loon calls, and when I heard the Loon
on the opposite side of the Lake yapping, I played
LOUD through a pair of 100W speakers that I kept
for lawn parties.
Well that SOB Loon takes-off and was in front of
our place in 2 minutes yapping a storm.
I ain't Dr. Dolittle, so I don't know whether it showed
up to fight or mate with me, (anyway, I shut-off the
Loon calls and ran and hid in the bathroom, like a
good Bertie).
It got me thinking, you know how duck hunters use
those chinzy duck callers, well what they should do
is use a Getto-Blaster with real taped duck calls,
boy did it work!
