Hello, Tweetsters!

Coming up on BirdNote, the week of Jan. 9
* a Northern Pygmy-Owl is mobbed
* urban parakeets and parrots (photo by Dennis Paulson)
* how feathers insulate
* the early bird... why it may not be the lucky one
* Jynx! the Eurasian Wryneck--What's your jinx bird?

BirdNote is a radio series, two minutes per episode, which you can hear
live on KPLU or KOHO, or listen to --or read -- on the web site,
http://www.BirdNote.org. (Also available as a podcast.) 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.
(Depending on your connection, you may listen on-line or download the mp3.)

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

Good birding in 2006!

=============================================
I have to remind myself that some birds
aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are
just too bright. And when they fly away, the
part of you that knows it was a sin to lock
them up does rejoice. But still, the place
you live in is that much more grey.
--from "The Shawshank Redemption"
