The birth of iPishing?

I've been curious how good the sound quality is on my iPhone so ... I installed a birdsong app and tested it in the field today. I was able to call in a male Northern Cardinal and a male Golden-fronted Woodpecker by playing Their respective bird songs. I admit I was completely surprised when the card landed 3 feet from the phone! He listened intently cocking his head as he looked for the source.
The woodpecker wasn't as close but just as curious as he looked about. He finally retreated to the orange half feeder for a bit then took his leave.
I have to say this experiment was a success! It's amazing what we can do today with new mobile technology from the field. This blog post is also being sent from the field from a blog app.
Now ... If I can just capture hi-res photos or video!

Yellow-rumped Warbler

A male and female pair of Yellow-rumped Warblers have settled into the East mesquite feeder area to winter. I'm curious if they will decide to stay year round. A group of warblers is sometimes called a "confusion".

Sparrows are busy today!

Sparrows are collecting old feathers and materials to line their nests today. This is a good sign that Spring is on the way!
