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
