In-Reply-To: Message of Sat, 2 Sep 2000 18:50:26 -0400 from Yes, I was the one who speculated that the W-T Sparrow (which never seeme d to sing a complete song) was dubbed, but I agree it seemed silly... However, I worked in a department at the University where we made films a nd videos and I often had to jump all over them when they dubbed in the "wro ng birds." A wetland announcement, for example, with Wood Thrushes because t hey sound pretty. they didn't like the R-W Blackbird and Swamp Sparrow songs I made them use! According to the latest FWS surveys, I believe more people watch birds th an play golf (or the numbers are at least rather close...) -- which might me an the TV people should be more careful, though of course more *golfers* wat ch golf shows than do birders!
