Seattle Audubon and KPLU-FM 88.5 are pleased to announce BirdNote, a new
radio series featuring the rich sounds and intriguing ways of birds in the
Pacific Northwest.

BirdNote is designed to transport listeners out of the daily grind and into
the natural world. Beginning on Monday, February 21, a different BirdNote

region and inspires listeners to renew their connections to the natural
world,? says Christina Peterson, executive producer of BirdNote.
