A short time ago an NBC movie of the week was filmed at a local park here in the Bay Area (at least portions of it were). The film's setting is Pennsylvania and I remember watching a scene being shot while a Hutton's Vireo was calling incessantly from overhead. I plan on watching the movie when it airs this fall, just to see if I can pick out that bird calling. Mike
