HI:
What's the bird that's calling in the background that sounds like an American Wigeon?

HI:
Someone emailed me about the birds calling in the background. He heard the American Wigeon too! He als heard a Hermit Thrush and Green Heron. Who ever dubbed in the background birds needed South America field guides!!!
