On the Watch by June Hitchcox SOUNDS OF NATURE Hope that you are listening to the 
wonderful sounds of the season: from the marshes, the frog chorus; from the forest, the drumming of the Ruffed Grouse as he beats his wings against a special log to attract a mate; from an open field, the winnowing sound, made by vibrating his tail feathers, of a Common Snipe. Birds use songs, chirps and other noises for many reasons, among which are: to attract a mate; to lay claim to a territory, making it off-limits to others of his species, which is large enough to support his family; to reassure or warn, as the case may be, his mate or nestlings in the nest. From the sound of a species' song, many birds have acquired their name and this helps us to identify them. The "chick-a-dee-dee-dee" of the Black-capped Chickadee; the "jay-jay-jay" of the Blue Jay; the plaintive "pee-a-wee" of the Eastern Wood Pewee; the high then low of the "fee-be" of the Eastern Phoebe; the "kill-dee" of the Killdeer; the downslurred, catlike "mew" of the Gray Catbird; the rolling series of descending"veer" notes of the Veery; the Bobwhite and Bobolink both saying their names. After hearing a song that might fit in with the above, guess at a name and look it up in a bird book. With a bit of luck, you may see the bird, be able to confirm the name and add another bird to your list of bird recognition. Happy Birding! |
