Hi all,
I'm kind of late jumping in to this discussion on adding "heard only" birds
to my life list, but I was away for 16 days.
The only family that I am comfortable in adding "heard only" to my list of
"lifers" is the Rail Family. I do not like to disturb habitat and a lot of
the rails are too far in their territories so you need to go into these wet
areas to find them. Listening to the tapes prior to looking for these birds
and then standing and listening for them to me is much better for the birds.
