I know this thread has been followed before, but the list of the top TV birders in Finland reminded me of a rather disconcerting experience I had at the movies not long ago. I had gone to see _The Godfather III_ and was surprised at the number of american birds in Sicily! Most intrusive was the sound of a roufous sided towee in the scene where the assasin was being hired. Michael Dritschel mad@math.purdue.edu

From: mjm@oliven.ATC.Olivetti.Com (Michael Mammoser) Path: mjm I've heard it said that the bird most often detected by voice in American movies is the Wrentit. A short time ago an NBC movie of the week was filmed at a local park here in the Bay Area (at least portions of it were). The film's setting is Pennsylvania and I remember watching a scene being shot while a Hutton's Vireo was calling incessantly from overhead. I plan on watching the movie when it airs this fall, just to see if I can pick out that bird calling. Mike
