Hi Ellen and All,

I too have been very interested in that commercial (and notice how many
other "bird"commercials there are lately ! ). But your post finally made
me run for the Peterson's (my personal favorite). I believe the "pigeon "
is really a Spotted Dove - Notice polka dots on back of neck when it sits
on the car seat. And the raptor is, I think, a Peregrine Falcon, which I
don't think even a BMW could outrace if the Falcon REALLY wanted that dove
!

Good birding, on TV and otherwise !
