Found myself in a rental car without a cord for my iPod and no CD’s this week. I got chills thinking I would be forced to listen to AM/FM radio with all the blaring commercials, or drive in silence for two hours. But in a moment of instant joy I remembered NPR. Even better, this story came on about an architect who was designing special bird safe glass for high rise buildings. Get the audio here:

Nice work Guy Mitchell, look forward to following your progress.

Thanks for posting this Dian. Unsafe glass kills millions of birds each year and I’m glad some environmentally active architects are doing something about it. Also, NPR is a true gem and we need to spread the word to help them survive the congressional onslaught trying to eliminate our public radio stations. 170 Million Americans For Public Broadcasting can help save our commercial free airwaves for future generations. I don’t think I could live without it.
On a brighter note, thanks for leaving a comment on my blog! It allowed me to find your wonderfully bright and informative site. I love it!
Larry,
Oh I agree, and thanks for the link, I just sent a letter to my local officials. Thanks for the kind words. Happy Birding
