Lol...me too...thought the bottom was "sled"...tried to pair it with duck, quack, quacking, bird, call, calling, caw, cawing (even though the bird was not black lol), squawk, squawking, coo, cooing....

I GOT IT I GOT IT I GOT IT! (I think)...although I never would have without Ron's post.

Is the answer...drum roll, please...cheapskate? (cheep and skate)

Since "Avian EchoLocation" isn't a compound word, I think JoDeen got it!
#6: Bill Eisenmann (Bullet) on Aug 24, 2018

Ha! I love JoDeen's post:

"I GOT IT I GOT IT I GOT IT! (I think)."

Lol. And I, too, think she's got it.

Great puzzle. Not sure I would have guessed the answer. My guess would have been "bird music"
Not too difficult to solve either. Didn't take a lot of "looking ahead."

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.

I wondered if it was some sort of sonic sled like in Star Wars until I focused on the skate and wondered what ended in skate. Then I said, oops, oh, that's a bird, of course.

Very clever and funny.
