Does wildlife listen to our idle comments?

Has similar happened to you?
My wife and I were paddling on Walker Lake this morning (the Lassen County one). Weather was perfect -- no wind, sunny but still pleasantly cool, not a cloud in the sky. The waterfowl were abundant, all seemingly with little ones in tow. It is a good year for avian procreation.
We were paddling a short distance up Goodrich Creek trying to get a closer at a pair of Sandhill
Cranes in the meadow. I commented that this is perfect habitat for meadowlarks, yet they are not in abundance here. A few are occasionally seen, but they are not common. Not thirty seconds later my wife told me look at 3:00 at the nearby fence post. Sure enough, a meadowlark -- staring at me, almost mocking my statement by bursting into song.
