Speaking of bird clocks -- the advert section of last Sunday's Post had an
ad for a bird clock with a "difference" -- the species are all Japanese!
Confound your friends! Prepare for that next Attu bird trip!
Included were such goodies (and some of these ARE "goodies" -- much sought
on our recent China trip) as Narcissus Flycatcher, Brown Thrush, Blue and
White Flycatcher, Red-flanked Bluetail, Japanese Grosbeak and Japanese
Whiteeye.
I assume that this clock is an import from Japan, where (apparently) the bird
clock phenomenon is also running rampant.
The cost -- a mere $19.95. I expect it also keeps time.
