Hello, Tweets!

Coming up on BirdNote, the week of June 19: Monday, the disappearance of the Yellow-billed Cuckoo
from the woodlands of the Northwest; Tuesday, Mahler's Cuckoo -- how the cuckoo's voice has been
immortalized in classical music; Wednesday, Brewer's Sparrow, sageland singer; Thursday, the tiniest
bird on the continent -- what is it? the Calliope Hummingbird!; and Friday, how nestlings leave the
nest.

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.)
Each is accompanied 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.
