Hello Eleanor,
Looks like you have this one wrapped up already. But, if it is any help with=
confirmation, I do have a CD of bird calls to which, I am ashamed to say, I=
have not yet listened. Just give me a call if you would like to give it a t=
ry.=20
I was introduced to Suzanne Borkowski at a meeting the other night, and she w=
ould be happy to do bird walks for us. I will be sending out a notice next w=
eek.=20
