[Tweeters] phantom yard birds

[pan]

For a couple years while I lived at an inland Seattle location, a particularly realistic starling would fool me with Bald Eagle calls, as others have noted -- "made you look."  More surprising was the semi-regular imitation of American Wigeon.  Got me every time, hoping I'd get to add a fly-over to my yard list.  I wondered where he spent that part of the year when not with me.
