Such birders place their cell phones on silent ring at critical times.
At any rate, most phone pages coming in do not ring, but rather produce a
low frequency beep. Not enough to disturb anyone or anything.

Just what we need: next time you are getting close to a bird to try and
get a good look and a proper ID, I can see someone's cell phone going off
and scaring the birds away. Better to leave the cell phone at home or in the
car and report it after you are out of the field. IMHO, no rarity is worth
disturbing the birds or the birders who are also out there.
