Hello, Tweets!

Coming up on BirdNote the week of March 10, we talk about the Varied
Thrush, Jeff Wells' new book, "Birder's Conservation Handbook," and
things we can do to help save the boreal forest, and the Montezuma
Oropendola and its strange nest. Friday, March 14, it's a bit of humor,
with a story about Sparkie Williams, the famous British budgerigar with
a vocabulary of more than 500 words. Pix: http://tinyurl.com/2rj6t4
