Audubon Bird Caller

[brian fleming <>]

Some pine trees weep lumps of sap which is really resin.  If fully dry 
this can be crumbled to powder and used as rosin for an Audubon Bird 
Caller.  You don't need much.
  My ABC got crushed in a car door.  I used to use it - quite effective 
on small birds providing you don't mimic alarm calls.  I didn't replace 
it, because when using binocs I never have a spare hand, and the minute 
gap between my front teeth produces quite convincing squeaks.
