Bill Jackson and his wife are not serious birders, but they, in his words, “really like those little guys.” They’ve accumulated a few minutes of footage from their travels through the Pacific Northwest and set it to Bobby Darin’s 50’s classic. The birds may be common, but the video is cute and it’s on YouTube for your enjoyment.
