There's a certain bird that I hear most of all back here is the red bird. (Red bird?) Yea, uh huh, sometime they... they got a certain call. I'll try to do it, because I don't practice to much. But I'll try to do it and give you my best impression of it. Here we go... (cardinal call). Now that's a red bird. Sometimes you got a little wren that will be back here and he'll come back and he'll land and he'll use this one: (wren call). That's a very small bird, but you wouldn't think the volume he could get out of his body. But uh, but you've got your cranes [great egrets] come by, I don't imitate cranes cause I don't think they make to much of a noise. (I've never heard cranes make any noise.) Me neither.
