What BBN said on air. The facts are in the original report: Bioengineer.org.
Chip DarnellScientists in southern Italy updated the bird list for Calabria, and it now has forty-three new species.
Chip DarnellThe last list came out in nineteen ninety-three and had three hundred twenty species. The new one has three hundred sixty-three.
Chip DarnellBut thirty-five of those forty-three are accidental or vagrant birds. So the region didn't gain residents, it gained people who missed their exit.
Vera BullockThey're exploring Calabria.
Chip DarnellSome came from Siberia. Warblers and flycatchers, caught at coastal ringing stations. They flew a few thousand miles and the welcome was a tiny bracelet.
Vera BullockA bracelet!
