For those of you who keep a life list of birds seen on TV (I do not), I hope
that you saw last night's episode of the Simpsons. A Scarlet Tanager played
a lead role in the plot (as much as any Simpsons' episode has a plot) and
the drawing of the bird was even fairly accurate. At least I could tell it
was a Scarlet Tanager and so could Lisa.
