If anyone is need of a soporific, I did a podcast about visiting St.
Joe to see the Ancient Murrelet. Go to www.PetLifeRadio.com and click
on the name of my show, "What Were You Thinking?" You'll see the
Ancient Murrelet podcast at the top of the page ("The Rime of the
Ancient Murrelet").
It is a fairly fact-free, rambling, self-centered monolog that will
only be of interest to those in need of the slightest dram of whimsy.
So please consider yourself duly warned. Don't listen while driving or
operating heavy machinery, please.

All, but especially Dea, Allen, Paul
Thank you for all the thoughtful input! I have indeed been learning
birdsongs over the last couple of years, and am able to recognize many more
birds than before, but sometimes just want something in the field. I
certainly have the information now to know what applications to employ for
various purposes. The input from such well-informed experienced birders has
been very helpful for me.

I found this a very interesting "ramble" (and y'all know I tend to ramble
and like rambles). It is a verbal ramble so it was weird looking at a
computer screen "listening to the radio", but I soon found out that once I
had "fired it up", I could continue working on other stuff.
I suggest you go direct to the referenced ramble and not mess around on the
website:
http://www.markiac.addr.com/PET_LIFE_RADIO/WWYT_player44.htm
Fans of Garrison's Lake Woebegone will enjoy. Complete with a commercial
break ala Woebegone. I found it an interesting account of what recently
happened on the pier where people gathered to see the Murrelet.
As a pic-oriented person, it was nice to return to "yesteryears" - although
it took awhile to "switch gears" from my original expectation! I also
learned a lot more about birding! Interesting!
All told, it is about a half hour radio show in length maybe.
Thanks, Bob Tarte!

Ebird is online and does not need an Iphone to be used. The idea of fan
Iphone app for Ebird is great, but Ebird can be accessed anytime at
http://ebird.org/content/ebird/.
My view on the "Good news bad news" situation: I don't use Ebird to find
rare birds. I rely on this list for my Life Birds. After I lost my life list
on paper, I switched to using Ebird just to track life birds. I do enjoy the
"Top Ebirders" function.

Ebird is online and does not need an Iphone to be used. The idea of fan Iph=
one app for Ebird is great, but Ebird can be accessed anytime at <a href=3D=
"http://ebird.org/content/ebird/">http://ebird.org/content/ebird/</a>.<div>
<br></div><div>My view on the "Good news bad news" situation: I d=
on't use Ebird to find rare birds. I rely on this list for my Life Bird=
s. After I lost my life list on paper, I switched to using Ebird just to tr=
ack life birds. I do enjoy the "Top Ebirders" function.</div>

<br>
All, but especially Dea, Allen, Paul<br>
<br>
Thank you for all the thoughtful input! =A0I have indeed been learning<br>
birdsongs over the last couple of years, and am able to recognize many more=
<br>
birds than before, but sometimes just want something in the field. =A0I<br>
certainly have the information now to know what applications to employ for<=
br>
various purposes. =A0The input from such well-informed experienced birders =
has<br>
been very helpful for me.<br>
