    Love when you can go out and actually bird with the film crew. Since I am from BC I will never see a Cardinal, they would be interesting. Also feature a migratory songbird that we are losing because of winter habitat loss, hazardous migration routes and maybe the scientist studying the animal which had found out that we are losing them and why we are losing them. A Greater and/or Lesser Prairie Grouse is also an iconic bird that we are losing.
