How to silence frogs with an iPhone app? Part 2

The best bird call to use is the Northern Mockingbird.  Northern Mockingbirds mimic songs of other birds, insects and amphibians.
The Northern Mockingbird is the Florida state bird (also Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas).  See Northern Mockingbird for more information.  Ed, Joey and Cody  are using the Mockingbird song from Peterson Field Guide to Backyard Birds iPhone app to quiet the frogs.  It works immediately.

The South Watershed Journal

The South Watershed Journal offers a picture of the water management operations in South Florida. Their latest post offers the following information complete with graphics

How big is 5 million barrels?  How about 322 olympic -sized pools or 24,000 backyard pools.  How about filling the Empire State Building to the 25th floor (one quarter full).  How about filling Fenway Park (2 acres) to the height of the Green Monster (37.5 ft)  9 times once for every inning.
The good news is BP's oil well in the Gulf of Mexico is plugged.
