[Maine-birds] BBS

Have just finished my first running of the Cape Neddick Breeding Bird Survey in southern Maine.  Picked a fine morning for it and we managed a whole lot of chipping sparrows and robins among other things and a few surprises too.  Would love to hear from other surveyors about any tricks or tools they use to help separate out the bird calls etc.  For example, at a few stops we had a robin or cardinal so close that it was near deafening and made it quite difficult to hear just about anything else.  I’m told throwing rocks is bad etiquette!
