Hello, Tweets!

Coming up on BirdNote the week of February 18, we feature Old Abe, the
war eagle that accompanied a Wisconsin regiment in the Civil War, two
listeners' stories, the Altamira Oriole, an interview with Cornell Lab's
recordist and photographer Gerrit Vyn, and the legend that storks bring
babies. See photos here: http://tinyurl.com/yoj4kn

BirdNote is a two-minute radio show, which you can hear live on KPLU*
KOHO**, or KTOO*** in Juneau, or listen to on the web. Also available as
a podcast. Each is accompanied by a photograph on the 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 web site: http://www.birdnote.org

Introduce a child to BirdNote. Children who grow up with an appreciation
of nature will protect the environment as adults. Our future
conservationists!
