About this Series:  Geocaching is a lot like birding.  There are geocaches all over the world, and most people just walk right past them, never paying any attention to them – but not you!   There are birds all over the world, too, and most people just pass right by them never paying attention to them or their songs. 

 

We heard many more birds than we were able to see today.  We will introduce you to them!  You can check out all of these calls at AllAboutBirds.org

About this Cache:   The Great Crested Flycatcher’s call sounds like “Wheep!”  “Wheep, wheep!”  Maybe you will hear one today.
