The Residence is an interesting new comedy drama about the a suspicious death
at the White House during a State dinner held for the Australian Prime Minister.
The twist to the series is that the central character is a prominent detective
(Cordelia Cup) who happens to be a dedicated birder.
She has a very keen eye for detail and during her initial nocturnal
investigation she produces binoculars, a birding sketch book, a volume of Birds
of the World and a birding checklist for the White House.
She uses the approach of a falcon sizing up a flock of prey to identify persons
of interest in the case.
There is a humorous segment dealing with a bogey bird (referred to as a
“nemesis bird”). [I would be interested to know what the species of the bird
that makes a close up appearance actually is].
If you have access to Netflix and enjoy references to birding behaviour by a
respected character, you may well enjoy this series.
Watch for the Rail Babbler and make allowances for poetic licence.
