Field Guide to Hollywood Bird Songs - by Robert Winkler. This great
article outlines why
Hollywood
is tone deaf to the songs of birds. On movie and television soundtracks,
bird songs are often inserted without regard to whether the birds would
ordinarily occur in the locale, season, and habitat depicted in the film.
When a bird sings in the background of the film you are watching, it is
liable to be ornithological fantasy.
