Dear Birders,
   
  Please consider participating in the following study, conducted by Aberdeen 
University (Scotland):
   
  www.abdn.ac.uk/birdsong/ 
   
  The researchers would like to hear from people world-wide with regard to 
their experiences hearing bird song (you do NOT have to be a resident of any 
particular nation to participate).

  Excerpt:
   
    "Researchers at Aberdeen University will spend two years listening to birds 
to find out how their songs, calls and cries become a part of people's lives. 
'Listening to birds: an anthropological approach to bird sounds" has received 
funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC).' "   
  Thank you.
   
  Irene-Eva Ries
