This is interesting.
Susie & I just returned from the Utah Shakespearean Festival where we heard
a RAVEN calling right over the outdoor theatre during an evening
performance. And a year ago, during the performance of one of the Bard's
plays at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland, a RAVEN flew over and
called.
And further, British researchers have found that exposing dairy cattle to a
live performance of Shakespeare (actors in the barnyard) can increase milk
production by up to 4%.
We will nevermore doubt the intellectual tastes of the "lower" beasts.

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Is this a Red-shouldered Hawk I see before me?
At the Ithaca Shakespeare Company's production of Macbeth this evening
outdoors at the Plantations, (highly recommended:
http://ithacashakespeare.org), additional entertainment was furnished by
a hawk. It began by calling from among the trees, then flew behind and
right above the on-stage action several times. I got a reasonable
naked-eye look. The call seemed to be to be that of a Red-shouldered
Hawk, and the visual was consistent with that id.
Fittingly, birds of prey make several appearances in the script:
