WhatBird.com Identifier

I often find myself laying in bed in the morning, listening to bird calls. I really have no idea what many of them are. So I check out http://www.whatbird.com/ and have been able to find all the sounds I've needed.

I realized that I was hearing a Pileated Woodpecker some mornings. (Sounds a bit like a monkey to me.) http://identify.whatbird.com/obj/183/_/Pileated_Woodpecker.aspx

This morning, I heard a Northern Cardinal but didn't know what it was for sure. I confirmed that this is what it is just from listening to the sound clips! http://identify.whatbird.com/mwg/_/0/attrs.aspx

This is a pretty cool tool to have.
