Hello, Tweetsters,

Coming up this week on BirdNote, we have a story called, "Is It
the Same Robin?" about the seasonal shift in American Robin
populations in the Pacific Northwest; "Swallows and Mud," the
myth that swallows hibernated in mud for the winter; "Geese in
V-formation," regarding the tailgating of migrating waterfowl;
"Lewis's Woodpecker," the namesake of Meriwether Lewis; and a
funny one-- about the strange bird sounds you hear in movies.
Here is a taste--
?"An Australian Laughing Kookaburra guffaws in the depths of the
Florida Everglades? A desert-loving California Quail crows in the
forested mountains of West Virginia, as frontiersmen watch warily
for Indians?"
***Bird Songs Go to Hollywood, by Bob Sundstrom***
(The call of a common Northwest bird is often heard as a jungle
cry. What bird is it? Tune in Friday!)
