<pre wrap="">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 try.
I was introduced to Suzanne Borkowski at a meeting the other night, and she would be happy to do bird walks for us. I will be sending out a notice next week.
