eyes vs ears

[(Richard Johnson)]

Indeed they do! I have heard drongoes do good imitations of Barking Owl.
In that particular case, a Barking Owl calling in broad daylight should
make the listener a bit cautious about recording the owl!

Sure enough, the field guide noted that drongos engage in mimicry in
addition to their gabbling.

While I will atlas on the basis of bird-calls, this is another example
why seeing is better than hearing, particularly when observing a species
for the first time.
