Hello, Tweetsters!

On BirdNote, the week of December 5, we present--
* the rooster
* eco-birding: how hiring a local guide is a win-win-win situation
* basalt as shelter (featuring the Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch)
* avian flu and the backyard birdfeeder
* Jay and Martin... a little comic relief for a wintry day (written by
producer John Kessler and Frank Corrado, the voice of BirdNote)

You may be able to catch BirdNote ~live~ on KPLU 88.5FM at 8:58AM on
weekday mornings. You can also listen -- or read the transcript -- at any
time our web site, BirdNote.org. Available as a podcast, too! The stories
incorporate songs and calls provided by Cornell University and by other
sound recordists. Each is complemented by a photograph on our web site. All
episodes are in the archives, both in written transcript and mp3 format.

Check out the week's schedule and see photographs here:
