Subject: [Tweeters] Wood Thrush, western side of Cascades near I-90

Well, I didn't SEE it per se, but according to Carter Subaru (car
dealership) in Seattle, they can be found there. Or at least in Spring.

Carter Subaru has a new commercial on TV which touts that if you come in
to buy, or even test drive, a new car, the dealership will pay to have a
tree planted in your name in the Mountains to Sound Greenway along I-90.
A very environmentally thoughtful program, no doubt, but the commercial
shows a man planting a tree in our own unmistakable evergreen forests
that hosts a songbird rich ambient dominated by none other than a Wood
Thrush.

I haven't seen the commercial since but I would be curious if anyone
else has and could name the other featured songbirds. They didn't sound
from 'round deez parts.

Thought it was funny. The people with whom I was watching TV didn't
appreciate this mistake so I thought I would tell the people who would
(and should).

Hopefully the subject line didn't get you too excited. :)
