A Word on 'That Bird' Your WTF ["What's That Bird That Calls 'Dorito?'" June 7] approximately birdsongs struck a wrong chord. I did not divulge your writer that it would be difficult to identify a bird based solely on call or song. What I said was that it would be difficult to identify a bird based solely on someone's description of the call or song. In fact,many of us identify birds based only on their vocalizations.

Twenty-first century wildlife conservation demands that we seek sustainable, and compassionate and inclusive ways to protect wildlife for the benefit of all Vermonters.
