I told my six-year-old this morning that I had just heard an interesting bird song in the back yard, one I didn't recognize. I described it for him, and without so much as a moment's pause, he knew just what it was — he told me that it was a Wren that was brown with a white face, and that he had heard it in Chirp! on his iPod Touch and he wanted to show me.
He couldn't, because his iPod battery had run out, but I suggested we could look on my iPhone while waiting for the bus.
As it turned out, we didn't have the time (I had let him sleep in this morning), but as soon as he was on the bus, I checked for myself. And he was right — it was a Carolina Wren.
Best $200 I ever spent.
