Very evocative.<br /><br />So as a biologist, catcher, and serious baseball fan, do you think there's something to the similarities between fan cheers and birdsong? I've wondered about things like that this summer while watching my kids' Little League games and noticing the harmonization/synchronization that seems to occur among the cheers and comments by the parents on each side (and some heckling of umps). Maybe there's something more interesting going on here than simple territoriality (and supporting the kids)?<br /><br />PeterPeter Woganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10026746954540049557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1224752028663332950.post-52195362631296923832011-03-07T07:06:54.257-05:002011-03-07T07:06:54.257-05:00Terry Christopherson.
