Thanks for mentioning that Burt. I'vd been spending too much time working
to be able to keep up with TOTN. Here is a blurp from their web site
which at least answers one question, its the second hour between 12 and
1. That 62 million Americans is certainly up from the 10% estimate of
about ten years ago. I wonder where he's getting these numbers?

Across some parts of the country, this month is the start of the fall
migration season. That means millions of Americans are grabbing their
binoculars and notepads to catch a glimpse of Snowy Egrets, grackles and
grebes. An estimated 63 million Americans consider bird watching a
favorite
hobby. Join Ray Suarez and guests as they explore the avian world and
the
latest computer gadgets for birders ...on the next Talk of the Nation,
