Hello, Tweetsters,

*** Don't forget to vote!***

This week on BirdNote, we talk about the disappearance of scaup;
mixed-species flocks; the Northern Shrike; a bit about common sayings that
have birds as subjects; and the relationship of birds to dinosaurs.

You may be able to catch BirdNote *live* on KPLU-FM 88.5 at 8:58-9:00AM on
weekday mornings, or you can listen at any time our web site, BirdNote.org.
These tales 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.
