Reminds me of a time when I was a kid, probably 8 or 9 years old. A cardinal had set up shop in our front yard and was singing his heart out. I stood below him under the tree and watched for a while, and then thought I'd try to talk back to him. I probably spent 20-30 minutes believing I was having a conversation with this bird. I would not, however, put my current birdcalling abilities on public display. Have a great time this weekend! Wish I could be there to watch the contest unfold, John.
