Subject: [CALBIRDS] Help get a birding show on TV





California birders,

Many of you know Richard Crossley, NJ (& ex-Brit) birder who was
co-author with Kevin Karlson and Michael O'Brien on the tremendous book
"The Shorebird Guide." Richard has been involved in making
documentaries on birdwatching, and particularly on birds in cities; he
was recently in California filming segments for one of the shows. It
turns out that higher-ups at The Animal Planet network are not certain
there is really any market for TV shows about birds and birdwatching.
The people producing the bird shows are looking for a strong response
from the birding community that there is indeed a niche for such
programs.

To this end, consider taking a few minutes to look at a demo video clip
and answer a few questions. This may help convince the network that
this is the kind of programming we want. If you can also pass this link
along to birding friends for them to comment, it would be great. 

Here is the link...it will direct you to click another link to view the
demo, and then you need to return to the main page to answer the 6
questions...the whole thing will only take 5 minutes...

Usual disclaimer: I have no involvement or financial interest in this
program - it just seems like it is something that would be fun to see on
TV.

Thanks,

Kimball
