    Yesterday: an American Goldfinch I heard singing, first time I IDed one singing. The only reason I recognized it right away was: I was wondering if it really sounded like “potato chips”, so I listened to it(it doesn’t IMO) and thus my subconscious learned a song.I recognized it as “oh that one bird… wait it’s that one bird that doesn’t sound like potato chips… that one bird is a AMGO! Is there a term for say: looking in a field  guide, seeing a WBNU in it, then seeing a WBNU a few weeks later, and you know immediately that’s a WBNU.? If there isn’t there should be.

    Yep, that's how a learned a lot of my bird vocalizations.

    Haha, I’m trying to put it up at a park sometime(there any rules against that?) because my yard doesn’t have spots to hang it. Haven’t gotten mice in the birdseed yet, not even the stuff in the garage.

    Be careful and keep stuff well sealed, mice may be attracted over time. They'll easily bite through soft plastic as well. I keep my birdseed in a bucket with a lid, and that's in the basement.
