Dear all,

Just a quick word to advise of the recent postings to my Crikey blog, *The Northern Myth* over the past week or so to today, 22 November 2008.

This week there is a focus on Ethnoornithology - Birds and Cultural Knowledge and Practice - in several of the posts but plenty of other items of interest to those familiar with The Northern Myth

To have a closer look go to: http://blogs.crikey.com.au/northern/ <http://blogs.crikey.com.au/northern/>

Recent postings at *The Northern Myth* include:
