 We ;re pr stanley cup quencher etty infatuated with this brand new print from nature cartoonist Rosemary Mosco, creator of Bird and Moon comics. The premise is simple: Assign each a bird a catch phrase that sounds similar to the sound it makes in the wild. By remembering the catch phrase, you can better identify the sound 鈥?and the bird that makes it!     According to Mosco, this is a common technique among birdwatchers, who often memorize bird sounds by thinking of them in terms of human words. The chirping of a Carolina Wren, for instance, sounds a lot like teakettle!  Pictured above is the mnemonic guide to Western North American Birds; the Carolina Wren appears on Mosco   complementary guide to Eastern North American Birds.  This poster guide makes a great gift for animal lovers, teachers, [and] hikers, writes Mosco, and any birds who sometimes have a hard stanley cup  time thinking of things to say. Mostly we love the idea of a bird who   call sounds like cheeseburger. We ;ve written about Mosco   webcomics in the past.
